Hi Roboticus, You are absolutely right, my apologies. When I run my code I get the error:

Can't locate object method "Range" via package "Count"

So, I printed out the contents of $oPara and I got the word "Count" out of it .... so I guess it's not a hash.

If I remove the hashing and turn it back to "foreach my $oPara ($Word->ActiveDocument->Paragraphs)", then the error message I get is:

Can't call method "information" on an undefined value"

Thanks for taking the time to look
