- The file GPMVB2.ZIP contains files for a Visual Basic program that uses
- DDE to manipulate/get data from Microsoft Word for Windows (Winword). The
- particular items in this program are not of much use, but they illustrate
- some of what I have discovered about using DDE to control Winword and can
- be adapted to perform more useful functions. You might also want to look at
- the sample I am posting as GPMVB1.ZIP, which illustrates the use of VB
- to create/edit a form-based Winword document.
- The VB program is WORDDEMO.MAK, a VB project with five related files:
-
- DDEFORM.FRM
- WORDDEMO.BAS
- WORDDEMO.FRM
- WORDDEMO.GBL
- FORM2.FRM
-
- Start up Winword and open some documents before running the VB program.
- Running the VB program will call up a form that should be largely self-
- explanatory.
- As in the case of GPMVB1.ZIP, there are some undoubtedly cryptic
- comments sprinkled through the 0code; the rest you'll have to figure out
- yourself. Yes, indeed, it's another DDE adventure game!
