I downloaded strawberry perl only. I have not used any modules. As mentioned the functions in the perl script "wdCharacter, wdPrintView, wdOutlineView" used to work fine with the old Word version but it does not work with the new Microsoft Word.	[reply]

Perl has no built in support for manipulating Microsoft word files, you are likely using Win32::OLE to automate Word, the object model may have changed between versions.	[reply]

see Does Win32::OLE::Const->Load('Microsoft Excel'); depends upon Excel version or use the Object Browser in VBA to find the numeric values and define the constants yourself. `use constant { wdCharacter => 1, wdOutlineView => 2, wdPrintView => 3, };` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l]
