As mentioned WIN32::OLE only sucks as much as OLE sucks!

I actually use it all the time. What you have to understand is that
you have access to all the OLE that would be availabe in VB. If you
can not "select all" in win32::ole you will not be able to do it in
VB.

to select all you the OLE is "Selection.WholeStory" or perlish Selection->WholeStory

If you need some tips let me know
