Use:

Set AppWord=CreateObject("Word.Application")

OR:

Add the Word object library reference to your project

Have you created a reference to the Word type library? Go to
Tools>References, scroll down to Microsoft Word, and check it.

 

[Bob Phillips]

Use:

Set AppWord=CreateObject("Word.Application")

You would also need

Dim AppWord As Object

 

[john.9.williams]

Where would i use the Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
syntax

You would do that instead of

Set AppWord = New Word.Application

but note my other post.

Why not spend a few minutes reading the "instructions" and save yourself
time spent struggling later:

You need to set a reference to the Word object library. In VBA,
go to the Tools menu, choose References, and scroll down to
Microsoft Word. Check that box.
