sparrow925 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Hi there,Line 5 is my attempt to change the paper size on a word document. An error pops up telling me that the item after "$oDoc." must be an object. For $count = 0 To UBound($aFileList)-1 Local $sDocument = $sOpenFrom&"\"&$aFileList[$count]&".doc" Local $oDoc = _Word_DocOpen($oWord, $sDocument, Default, Default, Default) ; Change page size to Letter $oDoc.PageSetup.PaperSize = $wdPaperLetter ; Save and close _Word_DocClose($oDoc, $WdSaveChanges, $WdOriginalDocumentFormat) NextI've tried to solve it myself, but it seems I am ignorant enough to not even know the right question to ask. Can someone who understands the bones of all this help me out? Any insight or explanation would be appriciated! Edit to add: I've also tried $oDoc.Activewindow.PageSetup.PaperSize = $wdPaperLetter and get the same error message. Do I need to select a range? Grah.

BrewManNH Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Try replacing $oDoc with $oWord in that line. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

water Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 $oDoc is correct as PageSetup is a property of the document object.Can you check that _Word_DocOpen doesn't return an error?

sparrow925 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I changed gears a little, because I suspect the filepath was wrong and I wasn't seeing how. This seemed to help -- now the error message seems more helpful.Local $oWord = _Word_Create() Local $sDocument = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Test\document.doc" Local $oDoc = _Word_DocOpen($oWord, $sDocument, Default, Default, Default) $oDoc.PageSetup.PaperSize = $wdPaperLetter _Word_DocClose($oDoc, $WdSaveChanges, $WdOriginalDocumentFormat) _Word_Quit($oWord) ExitThe document opens, it thinks a little, and I get this error: It doesn't like $wdPaperLetter as a variable. "Varibale being used without being declared." Am I formatting this change line incorrectly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
