Have you thought about using late binding instead of early binding? It's
very easy to implement, but could cause problems if the user has an older
version.

Just change all your DIM references for the word object to Object.

ex.
Dim Doc as word.document
To
Dim do as object

Hey--Is there any way to permanently select certain references from the

that they would like to reference word...
