The call to GoTo produces Win32::OLE(0.1501) error 0x80020011: "Does not support a collection" in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "" at ...

Huh?

The last line works (as do others not shown) so I clearly have a Document object at this point. What's wrong with the method call GoTo?

And if that line didn't work, why don't the next two cause errors as well?

my $Doc= Win32::OLE->GetObject ($filename, 'Close' ); my $range= $Doc->GoTo ($wd->{wdGoToBookmark}, { Name => 'Functionalit +yMatrix' }); $range->InsertParagraphBefore(); $range->InsertBefore ('Hello world!'); print "** $Doc $Doc->{FullName}\n";
