Ms-WORD automation

Hi all,

It is possible from Dolphin open an MsWord application and disable all #Save
commands ?
(what i want is that a user can not save the Document inside MsWord).

I'm trying to find out it, until now with no luck.

Any idea ?

Best Regards

a non-dolphin strategy to achieve this would be
to open word on a template document with its own
menu bar. depending on your needs this is not
what you want.

You can open Word document in a read-only mode.

-------------
"Creating Word COM object"
applicationClassName := 'Word.Application'.
application := IDispatch createObject: applicationClassName.

filename := 'my.doc'. "your filename here"
 conversation := readOnly := true.

"Opening a document in a read-only mode"
application Documents
  invoke: 'Open'
  with: filename
  with: conversation
  with: readOnly.

"Unhiding Word"
application setProperty: 'Visible' value: true.
-------------
