Hi Dennis
If you look in the Word VBA helpfile for Word 2000, you'll see an area
titled "What's New for Microsoft Word 2000 Developers"
If you need different versions of the code for the different versions of
Word, then use the following arrangement
#If VBA6 Then
' Word 2000 code here
#Else
' Word 97 code here
#EndIf
Those # characters are there deliberately. These are compiler directives,
not branches. What they mean is that in non-VBA6 environments (i.e Word 97)
only the second part of the code will be compiled. This means that if the
VBA6 part contains objects or functions that aren't available to Word 97,
they will not trigger a compiler error.
