How do I open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010?

[justin1269]

Hi All,

I am currently using Teststand 2010. I need to do a simple task, at least I thought it was simple. I want to open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010. I thought the using the "Call Executable" would be the first step, but I am not sure how to set it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

WJ

Hello,

You will actually need to use an ActiveX step to use Microsoft Word. I found this forum post with a similar question and an example. I opened the example and saved it to TestStand 2010 to reattach here.

Note: you will probably need to modify the "Open Document" step to make sure the FileName of the Word document matches the real file location.
