Where can I find Delphi Word.Application OLE interface manual?

Question

All I could find is a simple example and a manual in VB which is not the same objects as Delphi.

Edit: So there is no manual. Where could I find the code that translates the Delphi code to access the OLE calls? In the current state, there is a guessing game with the Delphi as , how vb is translated to the Delhpi.

Answer 1

The authoritative source is the Word Object Model Reference on MSDN. There is nothing better. It's not written using Delphi syntax but you just have to live with that.

Answer 2

I doubt which exist such manual, the official source is the Microsoft Word Object Model Reference, The samples are in VB but you can easily translate to delphi. All these objects and properties are accesible via delphi or any language which supports COM.

Answer 3

Deborah Pate's website may be "old" (~ Delphi 5) but still has valuable advice and examples in Delphi: http://www.djpate.freeserve.co.uk/Automation.htm
