Word Automation Build Errors(On VS 2005)

[MFC]

Hi All,

I have tried following the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q238611/
to create an automation client but I get hundreds of errors from
CApplication.h when I build it:
e.g.
debug\excel.tlh(1219) : error C2371: 'FontPtr' : redefinition; different
basic types
debug\excel.tlh(1689) : error C2504: '_IMsoDispObj' : base class undefined
debug\excel.tlh(2237) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'MsoRGBType'

Can anyone offer any ideas?

thanks

Well, I dunno... You say you want to automate Word, but the errors you show
all refer to the EXCEL library. Maybe you've set a reference to the wrong
typelib/PIA?
