Determining version and file types

[Ivan Debono]

Hi all,

I'd like to use VB6 to determine the following 2 things from Word

1. What version is currently installed.
2. What file types can save to (ie. Save As...)

Thanks,
Ivan

Take a look at the FileConverters collection in Word VBA. Each FileConverter
object in the FileConverters collection has a CanSave property which
indicates whether Word can save to that format.
