in thread Can I use Win32::OLE to insert a TIFF in a Word document?

I've found MSDN to be useful for the latest version of M$ products, but not for older ones. At this point, Office 98, which I use, is "really old" :-)

If you have Visual Basic installed, you can use its Object Browser to help ferret out the details. Create a new project, use Project/References to add the approprate library (Microsoft Word 8, or whatever). Then use the object browser.

The descriptions are not as good as the MSDN docs, when available, and there is no "usage" information, but it will certainly point you in the right direction, and helps immensely when dealing with M$ "upgrades".

Re: Can I use Win32::OLE to insert a TIFF in a Word document? and MSWord

    I found some excel examples that helped me understand how to convert some of the code. With MSWord open, I recorded a macro to do the task I was interested in, then I edit the code. I also searched for other examples and got lucky with one hit on the Microsoft Knowledge Base. I'm new on this site so I don't know yet where to post a large file with lots of samples in it.
