Hi
You might try being a bit more precise with the code

Dim WordApp as Word.Application
Dim Worddoc as Word.Document

Further on in code try

Set Worddoc = WordApp.document.add
With Worddoc
.Font.Size = 14
.Font.Bold = True
etc
.SaveAs FileName:=SaveAsName
end with

and release objects in right order
set Worddoc = Nothing
set WordApp = Nothing

connecting to Word seems to throw up errors unless you take care. It
can throw up errors even if you do take care (try seraching this
Newsgroup)
regards
