This is a translation of the Word API for Borland Pascal 7. It works
with Borland's Delphi as well.
The original "C" sources are shipped with Microsoft's Word Development Kit.

There are two ways to use the Units:
* for building a .WLL (Word Add-In DLL)
See TESTWLL.PAS for an example .WLL
After compiling, rename the .DLL to *.WLL to use
it with Word (-> File/Templates..)
* for executing WordBasic commands from your application via SendMessage()
This is safer than using DDE, because no asynchronous protocol has to be used.
Define the switch "USE_SENDMESSAGE" (see CAPILIB.PAS)
{ in fact, SendMessage() may also be used from a .WLL, so this
is the default setting }
Include the units in your application, and call Word like shown in the
sample functions in TESTEXE.Test1 (contained in TEST.INC)
Note: I have renamed the string functions containing "$" in WDCMDS, as Pascal
treats "$" differently. "$" became "Str", so "Selection$" is "wdSelectionStr".
Have fun :)
