I am trying to get properties from a word file
(such as Title, Author, Summary...)

'Old' OLE way :

  Property :=
WordApp.ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Item[index].Value

where index is the index of the property (Title = 1 ...)

Now I want to use the 'COM' way, using Word_TLB but Item is not defined
and BuiltInDocumentProperties returns an IDispatch which I am not familiar
to !!

why doesn't Word_TLB go down to the Value an stops at
BuiltInDocumentProperties

what can I do ??

Please Help !

Hello,

Try casting as far as BuiltInDocumentProperties as a variant:

variant (blah.blah.BuiltInDocumentProperties).Item [index].Value;

have fun,
