Try this as a starting point for the description of the Office Object model: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbaof10/htm l/oftocObjectModelApplication.asp In order to disect Type-Libraries, which contain information about Objects/Methods either use the OLE-Browser that comes with ActiveState's perl build (mine is at C:\Perl\html\OLE-Browser\Browser.html) or download Microsoft's OLE/COM Viewer from http://www.microsoft.com/com/resources/oleview.asp Cheers Tobias

I am reading David Roth's Win 32 Perl Programming and he uses word and excel as example applications. He calls a bunch of different (I think the term i am looking for here is methods but I just posted a question about methods and functions so no flames please) and I was just wondering this; where do you find out all the different method calls. I am guessing that you would have to find that stuff on the developers website? I am most interested in M$ methods since the enviroment I work in is primarily a M$ shop. So I am wondering: Where do you find the methods that relate to applications and specifically if anyone has any links to Microsoft ones. Thx, Leon _____ Do you Yahoo!?
