What Happened to _WordMacroRun ???????

[AutoitMike]

I have a very extensive automation project that I have been using for nearly 10 years.

I decided that I need a backup laptop in case my laptop dies.

I am attempting to get everything installed on my backup laptop porting all my program files from old to the backup laptop.

In doing so, I find that I have installed Scite version 4.1.2 on the backup laptop. I am currently running version 3.2.0 on my current laptop.

Two things:

1. _WordAttach() is now renamed _Word_DocAttach() Why would anybody rename an existing function???

2. _WordMacroRun() is missing!!! Autoit complains that it is not a known function. I really need this!!

Can I just install Scite version 3.2.0??? or is my Autoit version wrong?

Working Autoit is 3.3.8.1, new autoit is 3.3.14.5

Thanks

I see that a new way of running a macro exists, however, now, I cant pass variables to the macro.

Or, am I wrong?

 

Thanks for the help

_WordMacroRun was just a wrapper around a MS Word COM method.
Use

$oWord.Run("macro_name", $parameter1, $parameter2, ..., $parameter30)

as described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-DE/office/vba/api/word.application.run
