Word doc history

[John]

Hi

My vb.net opens a word document from a word template. I am trying to find
when the document is saved by the user so I can make a history in my vb.net
app. Here is how I think it may work;

Open a word doc from vb.net app, pass ref of a vb.net event handler to the
word doc, in word, use FileSave macro to call the vb.net event handler when
the document is saved. The vb.net event handler creates history in vb.net
app.

My questions are; a) Is the above viable? b) Could someone please show me
what coding accomplishes above?

Thanks

Regards

Re: Word doc history

Try very hard to avoid having code running in two places. Debugging and
maintenance can get very frustrating. You should be able to do it all from
the VB end: Word, as an object, raises enough events that you can track
what's going on:

Dim with events WordApp as Word.Applicatio n

That way, you don't need any code at the Word end.

Re: Word doc history

Hi John,

If you create a macro with the name of one of Word's built-in commands, your
macro will run whenever that command is executed (in place of the command)

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Re: Word doc history

It fires the DocumentBeforeS ave and DocumentBeforeC lose events amongst
others.

Re: Word doc history

I think it does not offer DocumentAfterSa ve (unless I have missed it). In
which case I guess I will go back to my original strategy.
