I am trying to use the microsoft word application.DocumentBeforeSave event in Office 2010 in autoit and I have found that for some strange reason, it will not trigger at all if I have clicked inside the text part of the open word document. Here is my test code (or course you will have to have microsoft word installed for this to work): $oWord = ObjCreate("Word.Application") $document = $oWord.Documents.Add $oWord.Visible = 1 $oEvt2 = ObjEvent($oWord,'appevent_') while 1 sleep(100) WEnd Func
