Is it possible in a Word 2003 macro to set objects to the the IE
application and the current web page? I'd like to check a checkbox and
activate the NextPage link (as long as there's a next page to go to).

I found some references to scripts that can do this, but I can't
figure them out. I can't find an InternetExplorer library to reference
in the VBE.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ed

I have never seen IE library in Word, however you can try using
SendKeys. It looks like a primitive approach, but hey..it might work.
Thanks.

What code do you have so far? You need to start with
CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

Then methods/properties like .Navigate, .Busy, .ReadyState are probably
useful, and .Document.Forms() and its properties and the method .Submit
or Submit.Click might help.

Hi Ed,

Never really used it myself so don't know if this will help but found this
link:

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1093969&page=7

with this at the bottom of it:

Reference 'Microsoft Internet Controls' (shdocvw.dll) and 'Microsoft HTML
Object Library' (MSHTML.tlb) libraries, look at 'InternetExplorer',
'WebBrowser' and 'HTMLDocument' classes in Object Browser. This can be a
starting point in digging in the object model.

Regards.

Another Ed

I have

Sub Try_IE()

Dim objIE
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Visible = True

End Sub

It opens a brand-new blank IE page with no URL. I can't see how to
set an object to the currently displayed web page. I don't want to
navigate to a page - I need to work with the web page already open.
What am I missing?

Ed
