Save a doc file after executing a macro in .docx format

[fred_beaucamp]

Good afternoon

the purpose is the following :

I want to open a Word file, run a macro ans save the result as a .docx file.

I don't succeed in saving the document with a .docx extension :

$word = ObjCreate("Word.Application")
$word.visible = True
Local $sDocument = "C:\Bazar\isa2docx\AGCMFR.doc"
$word.Documents.open($sDocument)
$word.Run("PaysageUnix66bis")
$word.ActiveDocument.SaveAs("C:\Bazar\isa2docx\AGCMFR.docx")
$word.Application.Quit

the error is

$word.ActiveDocument^ERROR

Error the requested action with this object as failed

 

I'm on a win10 computer wth a x64 processor with Microsoft Office 2016

Please Help me.

thanks

Can you try:

#include <Word.au3>

Local $sDocument = "C:\Bazar\isa2docx\AGCMFR.doc"
Local $oWord = _Word_Create()
Local $oDoc = _Word_DocOpen($sDocument)
    $oWord.Run("PaysageUnix66bis")
_Word_DocSaveAs($oDoc, "C:\Bazar\isa2docx\AGCMFR.docx", $WdFormatDocumentDefault)
_Word_DocClose($oDoc)
_Word_Quit($oWord)

BTW: It is always a good idea to do some error checking after calling a function. So you always know where the error arises. If not AutoIt might crash a few statements later and you start to debug at the wrong place

Hi !

Thanks Subz and water for your answers!

The code who works is the following :

#include <Word.au3>

Local $sDocument = "C:\Bazar\isa2docx\AGCMFR.doc"
Local $oWord = _Word_Create()
Local $oDoc = _Word_DocOpen($oWord,$sDocument)
If @error Then Exit MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Erreur ouverture fichier")

    $oWord.Run("PaysageUnix66bis")
_Word_DocSaveAs($oDoc, "C:\Bazar\isa2docx\AGCMFR.docx", $WdFormatDocumentDefault)
_Word_DocClose($oDoc)
_Word_Quit($oWord)
