calling Word Macros through tcom package for tcl

[Kathy Rathy]

I'm using the tcom package for tcl to access COM objects. I need to
run a macro on a word document. Here's example code:

package require tcom
set application [::tcom::ref createobject "Word.Application"]
set documents [$application Documents]
set document [$documents Open test1.doc]
set docApp [$document Application]
$docApp Run Macro1
$application Quit

When I do the $docApp Run Macro1, I get the error: "Error: 0x80020003
{Unable to run the specified macro}".

Is this a tcl syntax error or an error within Word?

Thanks in advance,
Kathy R

The error is from Word. You may have to correctly path the macro with
the project and module containing the macro. For example,

$docApp Run Project.MyModule.Macro1

Thanks for the reply. The macro I was trying to run resides in a
template document. I found I needed to open this template as well as
the document I wanted to run the macro against.
