VB Forum / Win API / September 2003Seeking help to control Word Application
I need to control a Word Application, but I'm not using automation. Instead, I have a handle to the Word application. I need to signal the word application to display its document as 'Zoom to Text Width'. How can I send the appropriate message to the word application? Any assistance will be very much appreciated! - Joe Geretz - Hi Joseph, > I need to control a Word Application, but I'm not using automation. Instead, > I have a handle to the Word application.

About the only thing I can imagine would be to use DDE. And DDE requires you to use the old WordBasic language. The command would be something like ViewZoom .AutoFit Unfortunately, I can't tell you where you can find any good material on using DDE to run Word. But your best bet would be either some very old TechNet CDs with KB articles for Word 6/95 or a copy of the Word Developer's Kit, 3rd (or 2nd) edition (maybe on Ebay?)
