Hi,

I would develop in 2000 and then test on XP. I think when
developed on 2000, in XP the reference will be updated to
Word 10 automatically.

Hi,

I am opening a word document using excel. I have office
xp
and hence I add Microsoft word 10 object library to the
references.
However some users have office 2000. To them the word 10
object refrences are comming as missing.

everytime i have to delete refrences for word 10 and then
replace with reference 9

Any workaround so that excel works in both xp and 2000???

Regards
Rajan
