Friedrich,

A Winword macro won't work directly in any other application that supports a
kind of Basic scripting. Everywhere you want to do someting within word you
will have to refer to a variable (variant) you assign the OLE automation
object to (this is done with the createoleobject). Normally this would only
affect objects (syntax should be basicly the same what concerns if then else
clauses and loops). You can first try to put Application. in front of these
objects, they should keep on working fine. When transferring this to
Reflection basic you should replace the Application prefix with the variable
you assigned your OLE-automation object to.

Regards,

David
