Using MS Word for Agilent VEE Reports
This lab describes how to display VEE test information in an MS Word
document, including text, a time stamp, and a screen dump of a VEE pop-up

more elaborate ways of controlling MS Word from other applications using
ActiveX Automation.
Lab 6-3: Using MS Word for Agilent VEE Reports
To begin, follow the steps to declare five variables as type Object.
1. Click

a. Change the Type field to
Object. Clone it four times.

Specify Object Type on all of them. The advantages of
declaring the particular

from the Automation Server.

Edit... button and select Word for Library in
each case. Select the following
Classes:
App will use Application
Sel
will use Selection
Wnd
will use Window

e. Select Enable Events where the class permits it. Iconize these five
icons. See Figure 6-14 for the open view of these variables.
