From: Chris Tranter Date: 2011-04-19T11:54:47+09:00 Subject: Win32OLE word objects Hi, I'm fairly new to Ruby (and coding in general)and I'm having problems trying to interact with objects in Word. The word vba code I'm trying to replicate is as follows, basically I don't know how to recognise the dropdown and checkbox fields in Word. ActiveDocument.FormFields("PaxType2").DropDown.Value = 3 ActiveDocument.FormFields("PNRCheckBox").CheckBox.Value = False b = ActiveDocument.FormFields("PNRCheckBox").CheckBox.Value Can anyone help, and also point me in the direction of how best to source this info so as not to bother with these type of requests again. Many thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
