Hopefully someone will have access to Word and be able to confirm my observations. To used it you need to have a number of toolbars visible and docked including the 'Web' and 'Visual Basic' toolbars. Run with 3.2.10.0 and 3.2.11.3 and you'll see the difference. The 'Visual Basic' toolbar is found in 3.2.10.0 but not in 3.2.11.3 {{{ ;Requires Word 2002 or 2003 with most toolbars visible and docked 'WEB' and 'Visual Basic' must be visible. may work with #Include #Region ### Set Options Opt(""WinWaitDelay"", 100) Opt(""WinTitleMatchMode"", 4) Opt(""WinDetectHiddenText"", 1) Opt(""MouseCoordMode"", 2) Opt(""MustDeclareVars"", 1) #EndRegion ### Set Options WinWait(""[REGEXPTITLE:^.* - Microsoft Word$]"","""") If Not WinActive(""[REGEXPTITLE:^.* - Microsoft Word$]"","""") Then WinActivate(""[REGEXPTITLE:^.* - Microsoft Word$]"","""") WinWaitActive(""[REGEXPTITLE:^.* - Microsoft Word$]"","""") ; remove the text from the 'Web' toolbar ; so that there is a least one toolbar with """" text.
