You have two problems with this.

1. VB6 and VB.NET aren't the same language, not even different versions of
the same language

2. VB6 and VB.NET don't use the same platform (i.e. libraries)

In short, this isn't going to work.

To see how to control Word from VB6, take a look at this article.

Control Word from Excel
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/ControlWordFromXL.htm

Don't worry about the code sample being about Excel, much the same code will
work from VB6.
