I'm assuming the same code ran on the same files (or copies of) using
Word 2003, and so the only change has been the version of Word.

I am not running Word 2007, so I couldn't test this, but I couldn't find
any evidence/discussion online of changes to the Documents.Open method
for 2007.

The Microsoft Word 2007 documentation for the Documents.Open method is
here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb2...

Just guessing, but you might try passing optional parameters, such as:

doc = wrd.Documents.Open(File.expand_path(file), false, true)

(C:\/daily%20print%20batch/Corzo%20Jr...)

Double-check the filename string that is being passed to the
Documents.Open method. It may be getting mangled somewhere along the
line, with regard to backslashes and/or spaces.

I suspect that it is a typo, for the reason you mentioned. Also,
required parameters are usually (in my experience) near the front of the
list.

Just a quick hint, since it's saved me a few times when the MSDN site
didn't have good info, use the ole_get_methods, or its analog
ole_methods.
The help method, ole_method_help(), usually doesn't do much other than
return the name of the method in my experience, but heck, try it :)
maybe you'll have more luck.

How about GetAbsolutePathName of Scripting.FileSystemObject?

fso = WIN32OLE.new("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
path = fso.GetAbsolutePathName("test.doc")
doc = word.Documents.Open(path)

Mr Masaki,

The solution you suggested works!

I replaces the line:

doc = word.Documents.Open(File.expand_path(file))

with the three lines you suggested.

Thank you,
Mick

No argument about that, the question is how.
Go to the link, tell me if it makes sense to you.
