Determining where a style was created

[Ken]

If in Word 2000 you read a W2003 document, or insert paragraphs from a
W2003 document, styles generated in W2003 can be loaded. W2000 will
then ignore the W2003 only features in these styles. However if such a
style has numbering and an attempt is made in VBA to use any of the
Lists properties or methods then Word will crash.
What I want is a VBA routine that will look at a style and determine
what Word version created it. I can then avoid executing any List
methods if necessary. The only thing I can think of is to parse the
style description for such words as "Latin" or "Asian" that are
not W2000 features, but this approach has obvious disadvantages. Any
ideas?

Where the style was created is irrelevant: the style object is a function of
the version of Word you're using at the time. You'll get problems referring
to any W2003 feature in code running under W2000.

You make my point that I should not refer to W2003 features in W2000.
Therefore, my question is the same. How can I find out if a styles has
W2003 features.

Don't know... but unless you find something better, you might check if the
save format is docx (ActiveDocument.SaveFormat=13)?

If you're using W2000, it hasn't. If you're using W2003, it has.
