Programmatically detecting an MS Word version installed on a PC

[Nam]

How can detect MS Word version installed on a PC using Visual Basic code?
I'd like find out if it is version '97, 2000, 2002, 2003 or 2007

Thanks.

Hi Nam,

How about:

Sub GetVersion()
MsgBox Application.Version
End Sub

Are you looking for the current version or all installed versions?
There's a difference there? If the current version you've got the
answer. If installed versions then you need to look in the registry.
