Word 2003 Macro Help

by wallg Oct 5, 2007 4:59AM PDT

Hello,

I'm not finding what I need or not sure of what I really need to look for.

What I am trying to do is, call "winword /mSaveAsHTML sometextfile.txt" from a bat file. I want it to automatically open the text file and do a save as to create an HTML version of the file, then automatically close Word. I tried to record a macro and can get the save as portion, but the close document and exit Word part I'm not sure how to accomplish. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

I found a lot of options using;

Word VBA, how to quit Word.

But this may help;

Sub CloseAll()
'Close all open files and shutdown Word

With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False

'Loop Through open documents
Do Until .Documents.Count = 0
'Close no save
.Documents(1).Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
Loop

'Quit Word no save
.Quit SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
End With
End Sub
