I wrote a macro on my PC about 4 months ago. Now it is being used by someone
else on a different PC. It still runs just fine for me on my PC, but not on
her PC. I checked her references and am wondering if it would make a
difference that her office, excel and word are 10.0 object libraries and
mine are 11.0? Could this be what's causing it to run weird on her PC?

I looked for that piece of code and it's not in there. My macro merges data
from the worksheet onto word documents, don't know if this changes anything.
By weird I mean it's printing duplicate documents and printing things that
aren't supposed to print, that sort of thing.

If you recorded a macro in XL 11 and try to run it on 10 there could be
some
issues with backwards compatibility. Most likely (just a guess here but
something to look for) is that you macro performs a sort at some point. In
XL
11 a new parameter was added to the sort functionallity
"DataOption1:=xlSortNormal". Just remove that piece and the code will
probably run OK on the other system.

I do reference to word 11.0. I also use late binding already in my code.

Do you explicitly create a refernce to Word (in the VBE tools -
references
- microsoft Word 11.0) if so then you should remove that reference from
your
spread sheet and change your code to late binding...

Change (early binding)
dim appWord as Word.Application

to (late binding)
dim appWord as object

Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
