Solved: Cannot "SaveAs' text using Word from Windows Script Hosting

[SparceMatrix]

I am tryng to use Word to convert some documents from Word/HTML to text using Windows Script Hosting. I find that using this code in a Module in Word's VBA functionality works fine:

Sub Works()
 
	Set Doc = Documents.Open( _
		ReadOnly:=False, _
		FileName:="C:\....\MyDocFile.doc" _
		)
 
	Doc.SaveAs _
		FileName:="C:\...\MyTextFile.txt", _
		FileFormat:=wdFormatText
 
	Doc.Close
 
End Sub

But now back to Windows Script Hosting and I find a few new problems. First, the named argument functionality does not work and I can't find any reference to the reason in MSDN's on line documentation. And also, this adaptation to a Windows Script Hosting script does not work:

' VB Script Document
 
Sub Works()
 
Set Word = CreateObject("Word.Application")
 
	Set Doc = Word.Documents.Open( _
"C:\....\MyDocFile.doc" _
		)
 
	Doc.SaveAs _
		"C:\...\MyTextFile.txt", _
		wdFormatText
 
	Doc.Close
 
End Sub
 
Works()

If I open MyTextFile.txt, I see a lot of gibberish -- not text and if I open the document in Word, it looks just like the original.

Anybody have any idea what is going on? Any and all tips or clues would be appreciated.
