You can't get a "reference" via the Word.Application object (or any of the Office "Blah.Application" objects).  But this will work:

<reference object='word.document' />

Do the same for other Office applications.  The reason is the CLSID keys pointed to by the "Blah.Application" progids don't have a TypeLib key.   But the application "document" type progids do...  It doesn't really matter which of a given application's "document" progids you use, within a given application they all point to the same type library.

  Hi all,

  was somebody successful to use a type library reference from WSH 2.0.
  I tried to use the following code:

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <job id="Sample">
  <reference object='Word.Application' version='9.0'/>
  <script language='VBScript'>
   WScript.Echo "Hello " + wdWrapType
  </script>
  </job>

  to display the value of the Word constant. But all I got was a run-time
  error,
  reporting "cannot find the type library for this reference:
  Word.Application".
  I tried the code with and without the version attribute. And I'm sure the
  application is installed.

  Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Thanks

* We can use the uiid attribute and set the class id code of the type lib
as:
<reference guid='{00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}'/>

* Or we need to combine the object attribute with the version attribute as:
<reference object="word.document" version="8.0"/>

My first attempt to use the object attribute as:

<reference object="word.document"/>

failed. I got a run time error reporting that the type lib
{00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} can't be added. Only after adding
explicitely the version value,
things works well. Below is the code sample I finally used:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<job id="RefExample">
<?job debug="true"?>
<comment>
we may use the element
<reference guid='{00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}'/>
to access the library. Or we can use the code given below,
in this case a version if mandatory.
</comment>
<reference object="word.document" version="8.0"/>
 <script language="VBScript">
<![CDATA[
 Set Tmp = WScript.CreateObject("Word.Application")
 WScript.Echo "wdBlack = " & wdBlack
]]>
 </script>
</job>

I wrote today the fourth newsletter which contains something like a FAQ
about WSH 2.0 topics. The newsletter may be downloaded from the WSH Bazaar
