Can anyone tell me how to determine in VBA the Word version number (
e.g. 2000, 2003 etc) and preferably also the SP number?

The property Application.Version contains the version number, not the
version's marketing name. The correspondence is

12.0 = Word 2007
11.0 = Word 2003
10.0 = Word 2002 (Office XP)
9.0 = Word 2000
8.0 = Word 97

The Application.Build property tells you the version and build number.
I don't have a list of those handy, but in Word 2003 SP2 it returns
11.0.8106.
