Hi there,
I have written some code using units Office97 and Word97 and it works fine,
but I'd like to understand how can I guarantee that it will keep running
no matter which version of MS Word is installed on client machine. I'm
working with Word 2002 and D7.
Any help will be very much appreciated,
Joan

You can not guarantee. But always better to use old version for development
because MS don't change interfaces too much. Only one major chnage that I
remember is crosstabs in Excel (differs in Excel 97 and 2000/XP)
So I sure that your code will work with Word 200/XP/2003 without problems.
99.99% guarantied:-)
Just check for Word 95
