OLE automation question

[daimaou]

Hi. I'm trying to develop an application based on lots of OLE automation, mainly generating documents on a OLE object and then saving them to a .doc format. ie first I generate the document on a OLE object, let the user edit something if he wants and then save it to a .doc file.
Anyway I've noted that some commands aren't available for the OLE object edition. In my case I need to add some footnotes on my document, but this isn't accessible on a OLE object. Is there any way to have access to this functions on a OLE object or are they only available to me if I open word with createobject("Word.Application&quot?

Any help is appreciated.

integer result

result = o1.ConnectToNewObject("word.application.9&quot
IF result <> 0 THEN
DESTROY o1
MessageBox(&quot;OLE Error&quot;, &
&quot;Unable to connect to Microsoft Word. &quot; &
+ &quot;Code: &quot; &
+ String(result))
DESTROY o1
RETURN
END IF


ole_1.Activate(OffSite!)
ChangeDirectory( &quot;c:\cenk&quot; )
integer li_res
is_cenk =sle_1.text

if is_cenk=&quot;&quot; then
messagebox(&quot;dikkat&quot;,&quot;Herhangi bir document adý girmediniz&quot
return 0
elseif FileExists(is_cenk) = false then

li_res =messagebox(&quot;hata&quot;,&quot;var olmayan document girildi!Yaratmak istermisin?&quot;,Question!,YesNo!,1)
if li_res = 1 then
o1.Application.Run(&quot;FileNew&quot
o1.Application.Visible = true
else
return 0
end if
else

is_doc =is_cenk+&quot;.doc&quot;
is_cenk =&quot;c:\cenk\&quot;+is_cenk+&quot;.doc&quot;
messagebox(&quot;Seçilen Dizin&quot;,is_cenk)
o1.Application.Visible = true

You need to Open the Ole and not Edit it (right mouse click on the container and then you should see the choices to Edit or Open). If you select Open, then Word will start and then you can add the footnotes. Do not ask me why this is so....
