OK, I am starting to think that it is MX that is not wanting to do this right, as I have even looked at some of the tutorials on how to print or create a word doc and the thing still crashes. I tested on 2 seperate MX servers, even changing the service to boot up using an admin account, and I am gettng the same errors. Anyone have a CF5 server with word installed where I can send something to them and test this out? If this is a big, would like to speak with MM about it.

So after reading the MS website, it tells me how to only count the words and ignore the punctuation, in VB, which is: Set temp = Dialogs(wdDialogToolsWordCount) temp.Execute numWords = temp.Words But I can not seem to get the above to execute in CFScript. The problem seems to lie in the "temp.execute" Now sure how to get that to work Thanks!

Hence why I've got: myRevisions = newDoc.Revisions; MyRevCount = myRevisions.count; Instead of: MyRevCount = newDoc.Revisions.count Perhaps the reason your code isn't working is because the document isn;t being opened properly or at all (too many dots in your OpenDoc statement) HTH, Alex PS.
