Winword.au3

[enggniteshgarg]

Hi All,

I am new to AutoIT. I just want to create a new word document. But _WordCreate function is not working.

#include <Word.au3>

$oWordApp = _WordCreate (@ScriptDir & "\Test.docx")

After running above lines i am getting error like "Word.au3 Error from function _WordDocOpen, $_WordStatus_InvalidObjectType"

Does anyone has any idea?????

What version of AutoIt do you use?

What version of Windows do you use? 32 or 64 bit?

What version of Office do you use? 32 or 64 bit?

Hi, enggniteshgarg. I am using Office 2010, and can replicate the error you're seeing if I attempt to create it as a .docx. I do not, however, see the issue if I create it as a .doc. Can you please try it as a .doc and see if you still get an error? You can always do what you need to do and then save as a .docx later if you need.

I ran into a similar issue today. I am writing a script that does a FindReplace on an existing document and running into problems. I tried saving the .docx as a .doc but it still doesn't work. I am running Windows 7 64bit with Office 2010 64 bit.

Office 64 bit is not recommended (not even by MS) and often causes problems. There was a thread about 32/64 bit Office which I cant't find at the moment.

Do you have the 32 bit version on another computer? if yes, try your script there but make sure the AutoIt script runs or compiles for 32 bit!

I've seen where MS says don't use it, but I just saw you can still buy it on Newegg Nothing like a company that hopes you'll continue to buy even their worst products.

#include <Word.au3>

$oWordApp = _WordCreate (@DesktopDir & "Test.doc")

$oDoc = _WordDocGetCollection ($oWordApp, 0)

$oDoc.Range.insertAfter ("This is some text to insert.")

;_WordQuit ($oWordApp, -1)

Error what i am getting:

I tried ruing the script with doc also still i am getting error
