Help with AutoCAD to MS Word interaction?

(OP)
I'm working on a project that requires a user to select an option out of a combo box in AutoCAD that will then search a Word document, display that document, and zoom to the specified portion of the document.  I can get Word to appear with the appropriate document but heretofore have been unable to make the program "zoom" to the desired portion of the document.  Any suggestions?

RE: Help with AutoCAD to MS Word interaction?

Quck and dirty you could use SendKeys to initiate a find, more properly you should use the Work Object model, which is powerful but requires quite a lot of learning

RE: Help with AutoCAD to MS Word interaction?

To get a quick idea of how to access the Word Object Model, just record a Word Macro. You can then edit the Macro to see how it works and modify to suit

Good Luck
