This is my first post here - yay! This is my function that I am calling (just passing test arguments):

Code:
function makeDoc($name,$content){
	// starting word
	$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word");
	echo "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";
	
	//bring it to front
	$word->Visible = 1;
	
	//open an empty document
...
