I want to programatically open an MSWord doc and save it as a Tiff. The
following code works if I call it as a macro within the MSWord application,
but not if I run it from my VB application. When i run this code in my VB App
it saves the file as a very large tif and when i try to open the tif i get an
error message that says "The selected file is not a valid Microsoft Office
Document Imaging File."

Anybody see what i'm doing wrong? Thanks Joan
