Is it safe to continue using Dialogs(wdDialog...) in 2007?

[Gary Hillerson]

I've got a few places in my code that call built-in Dialogs; i'm
currently updating the code work with Word 2007. These calls still
seem to work: for example, but I'm wondering if there's any danger in
continuing to use them in the code (which will make it easier for me
to have a single template that works with all versions of Word).

Calls I use:
wdDialogInsertCaption
wdDialogInsertPicture
wdDialogInsertCaption
wdDialogFileSaveAs
wdDialogFilePrint
wdDialogTableInsertTable

These all seem to work code within my code. For example, these calls
work just as expected -- they display the dialog and return a result:

dlgresult=Dialogs(wdDialogTableInsertTable).Show (to insert a table)
or
dlgresult=Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show (to do a Save As)

Is there any problem with continuing to use these calls in 2007? Is
there a compelling reason to change them?

I would not think so. After you get past the ribbon, most of the dialogs
that you get to are identical to those used in 2003 (and earlier versions).

Doug,

Thanks for an answer, but i'm not certain how to interpret it, since I
asked both positive (is it ok) and negative (is there a danger)
questions in my post.

Are you saying that you would think it's fine to continue using them?
Sounds like it. Please confirm.

And thanks again,
gary

AFAIK, Yes.
