MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / October 2006Determining where a style was created
If in Word 2000 you read a W2003 document, or insert paragraphs from a W2003 document, styles generated in W2003 can be loaded. W2000 will then ignore the W2003 only features in these styles. However if such a style has numbering and an attempt is made in VBA to use any of the Lists properties or methods then Word will crash. What I want is a VBA routine that will look at a style and determine what Word version created it. I can then avoid executing any List methods if necessary. The only thing I can think of is to parse the style description for such words as "Latin" or "Asian" that are not W2000 features, but this approach has obvious disadvantages. Any ideas? Where the style was created is irrelevant: the style object is a function of the version of Word you're using at the time. You'll get problems referring to any W2003 feature in code running under W2000. > If in Word 2000 you read a W2003 document, or insert paragraphs from a > W2003 document, styles generated in W2003 can be loaded.

Don't know... but unless you find something better, you might check if the save format is docx (ActiveDocument.SaveFormat=13)?
