I am new to autoIT script, I have a requirement to open a Word and a PPT file, then goto the last Page of Word and PPT file. Could someone share the sample code of this? Thank you very much.

This will get you to the end of the Word doc:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Word.au3>

; Create application object
Local $oWord = _Word_Create()
If @error Then Exit MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Word UDF: _Word_DocOpen Example", _
        "Error creating a new Word application object." & @CRLF & "@error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)

Local $sDocument = @ScriptDir & "\testdoc.docx"; YOUR FILENAME GOES HERE
_Word_DocOpen($oWord, $sDocument, Default, Default, True)

$oWord.ActiveDocument.Characters.Last.Select; puts cursor after the last characters

Why do you want to go to the last page? To the top or the end of the last page?

To Water,

Yes, the test step require to open the Word first and then goto the last page, Top or end of  the last page doesn't matter.

Hi Jfish,

This code works for me, by the way, how about the same function with PPT, open the PPT, then goto the last page, any suggestion? Thank you for the kindly help.

Try this:

$oPPT = ObjCreate("PowerPoint.Application")
$oPresentation = $oPPT.Presentations.Open(@ScriptDir&"\test.pptx"); YOUR FILE NAME HERE
$oPresentation.Slides($oPresentation.Slides.Count).Select

Send("{CTRLDOWN}{END}{CTRLUP}")

Send("{CTRLDOWN}{END}{CTRLUP}")

@computergroove - That could also work but I think sending keystrokes would be much less reliable than going through the com API.
