Format Parameter for Word Automation Document SaveAs method ?

[PRMARJORAM]

Hi,

Im using WORD automation from an MFC client app using VS 2005.
I can successfully start WORD and open an existing word document.

What I want to then do is save it in a different format via the SaveAs
method on the Document object and where the second parameter is the format to
save-as.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.word.wdsaveformat.aspx

My problem is specifiying this parameter - as takes a variant, in the
documentation need to specifiy and enum of WdSaveFormat but this is not in
any of my word files
generated from create class from typlib where i selected just what i thought
i needed Application and Document objects.

Basically how to specify the format parameter for the SaveAs method relative
to the enum values specified in the documentation link above?

Thanks

I looked it up through OLE/COM Object Viewer.

typedef enum {
wdFormatDocument = 0,
wdFormatDocument97 = 0,
wdFormatTemplate = 1,
wdFormatTemplate97 = 1,
wdFormatText = 2,
wdFormatTextLineBreaks = 3,
wdFormatDOSText = 4,
wdFormatDOSTextLineBreaks = 5,
wdFormatRTF = 6,
wdFormatUnicodeText = 7,
wdFormatEncodedText = 7,
wdFormatHTML = 8,
wdFormatWebArchive = 9,
wdFormatFilteredHTML = 10,
wdFormatXML = 11,
wdFormatXMLDocument = 12,
wdFormatXMLDocumentMacroEnabled = 13,
wdFormatXMLTemplate = 14,
wdFormatXMLTemplateMacroEnabled = 15,
wdFormatDocumentDefault = 16,
wdFormatPDF = 17,
wdFormatXPS = 18,
wdFormatFlatXML = 19,
wdFormatFlatXMLMacroEnabled = 20,
wdFormatFlatXMLTemplate = 21,
wdFormatFlatXMLTemplateMacroEnabled = 22,
wdFormatOpenDocumentText = 23
} WdSaveFormat;

Open Object Viewer, select File/View TypeLib... Then select the MSWord.OLB,
you can find the directory in the same dialog where you create your classes
from a typelib. When the ITypeLib Viewer opens select View/Group by type
kind, if not already selected. Expand the Enums tree item, and search down
for the enum you are looking for.

I don't use create class from typelib, but it does get the enums if you do
it with #import.

#define _MSWORDOLB_PATH "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE12\MSWORD.OLB"
#import _MSWORDOLB_PATH rename("ExitWindows", "WordExitWindows")
rename("FindText", "WordFindText") raw_interfaces_only
using namespace Word;

This creates the file msword.tlh which includes, among many other things,
this declaration:

enum WdSaveFormat

};

Excellent thanks for that.

It turns out also when generating the class from the typelib a msword.tlh
file is also generated containing all these enums and their values.

I could not include this directly though as got loads of compiler errors but
it does contain the values you need.
