Here's a couple of macro's i picked up that may help you understand what you are doing! (thats 2.5% for me too....need the cash Bob!)
The two example macros below demonstrates how you can send information to Word
(e.g. creating a new document) and how you can retrieve information from Word
(e.g. reading information from a document).
Note! Read and edit the example code before you try to execute it in your own project!
