Q119591 How to Obtain Microsoft Support Files from Online Services
Microsoft Word 97 uses the MSword8.olb type library to obtain the values of preprocessor directives used in Word VBA code. Visual FoxPro can not take advantage of the type library. Using the values of these preprocessor directives requires you to reference the constants in the Word Visual Basic Applications Object Browser, or some other tool that can read information from the type library.

The header file, Wordvba.h, can be included in FoxPro code. You can then use the Word VBA constants as they are used in other VBA applications. A second way to use this file is as a reference for Word 97 VBA constants without having to open the Object Browser in Word. To use the file in Visual FoxPro for Windows, issue the following command in your Visual FoxPro for Windows code: 

   #INCLUDE WordVBA.H
Sample code for using the Word VBA header file instead of having to find the values of the preprocessor directives follows.

Sample Code


   #INCLUDE WordVBA.H
   oword=CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application")
   WITH oword
      .Documents.ADD
      .Visible=.T.

      *-- Change the view type based upon the view type
      *-- used when Word was last used.
      IF .Activewindow.View.Splitspecial = wdpanenone      && wdpanenone=0
         .Activewindow.Activepane.View.Type = wdpageview   && wdpageview=3
      ELSE
         .Activewindow.View.Type = wdPrintPreview      && wdPrintPreview=4
      ENDIF
   ENDWITH
