Even though I have added a reference to the Microsoft Word 11 Object
Library, when I type dim oWordApp as Word. there is no list of available
properties, etc. that pops up as there is when I type Dim oWordApp As New
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. In fact if I type dim oWordApp as
Word.Application, I get an error message to the effect that Word.Application
is not defined.
It is as if Visual Studio is forcing me to use the second method.
