I guess if there would be problems regardless of whether you used late or
early binding, then yes, I guess it wasn't just unclear, but misleading.

That's exactly what I was referring to. Sorry if the explanation wasn't
clear enough.

Why do you think latebinding would have problems with older versions. That
is half the reason to use latebinding. What would cause problems is if you
use features not supported in the older version - but that has nothing to do
with latebinding.

Forgot to explain why:-)
When using late binding you don't need to use the reference at all. VB will
automatically pick up the most recent associated object based on the
createObject().

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...
