    Reference Microsoft Word 16.0 Object Library

    Hey guys,

    is there a way to automatically activate the reference Microsoft Word 16.0 Object Library somehow (with a code) ?

    greetings,

    Try this code
    Sub Add_Object_Library_Reference_By_GUID()  
      Dim strGUID As String
    
    
        strGUID = "{00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"              'Microsoft Word
        Rem strGUID = "{00020813-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"          'Microsoft Excel
        Rem strGUID = "{91493440-5A91-11CF-8700-00AA0060263B}"          'Microsoft PowerPoint
        Rem strGUID = " {4AFFC9A0-5F99-101B-AF4E-00AA003F0F07}"         'Microsoft Access
        Rem strGUID = " {00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"         'Microsoft Outlook
        
        On Error Resume Next
            ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References.AddFromGuid strGUID, 0, 0
        On Error GoTo 0
    End Sub

    Where does you put the code (into Excel or Word) ..?
    I suppose you put it into excel so as to add the Word Library

    Make sure of References from Tools menu ...

    I'm transfering some data from excel to a word document, therefore I need to activate tis reference. But it should do it automatically.

    No I'm not.

    The error is appearing in the line which says: Private Function TEST(ByVal T As Integer, wdDok As Document, I As Integer) As Boolean

    But when I manually put in the word reference it works.

    May be you have to run the code I posted earlier first then run your code

    Why do you need to add it programmatically? References are saved with the workbook.

    If you need to support different versions of Word, it's far easier to late bind the code, especially as security settings can prevent you from altering references.

    The people who will use the code do not have good vba skills and probably don't know how to add the reference themself. Therefore it would be good if the reference would be added programmatically when they run my code.

    I think you misunderstood. Once the reference is added to the workbook by you, it is saved with it. The users don't need to do anything.

    I understood that but they'll only import the code, the workbook differs each time

    You're saying that they are capable of importing code but not setting a reference??

    I still suggest you late bind the code as it's far simpler than any other option.

    Declare any Word variables as Object - eg
    wdDok As Object
    - and declare any constants that you use from the Word object library.

    Adding references with the code requires that "programmatic access to the VBA project" be enabled. By default it is turned off.

    I've been using the Microsoft Word 16.0 Object Library for a while now, and it's been pretty handy. It's got some cool features that make my work easier.

    Hey everyone! The library offers some seriously cool features. It's definitely worth exploring if you're into Word programming. The Word 16.0 Object Library has become my go-to resource, providing me with a solid foundation to build upon. It's amazing how much you can achieve with the right tools at your disposal.
