Try rebuilding the ActiveX driver for Word from CVI. You can do this from Tools->Create ActiveX Controller. Select Microsoft Word x.x Object Library from the list. Make sure you give the same prefix to the functions (Word) so the example code works with the new driver. Also, make sure you select to create the driver as ActiveX server objects, not controls or documents. Then add the new FP file to the example projects and remove the word2000.fp from the project.
