Hi all,

Where do I find the complete information on what I can do with Win32::OLE, when modifying an M$ word document? For example, I found that following code on the web, and it works on my MS Word input file, but I would like to know 'the rest of the story'.

I'd like to know how the originally author figured this much out!

Thanks for your time! 

  $selection->{'Find'}->ClearFormatting;
  $selection->{'Find'}->{'Style'} = $doc->Styles('Title');
  $selection->{'Find'}->{'Text'} = "app";
  $selection->{'Find'}->Execute;

  $selection->{'Find'}->{'Replacement'}->{'Text'} = "B";
  $selection->{'Find'}->Execute({Replace => wdReplaceAll});

  $selection->{'Find'}->{'Forward'} = 1; # find next instance
  $selection->{'Find'}->Execute;

  $selection->{'Find'}->{'Format'} = 1;
  $selection->{'Find'}->Execute;
