    Hi Everyone, I am having a hard time working with Com dll with Word 2003. This is my first post in this forum and i desperately need help. I thank you in advance. Scenerio: I created a Com Class in VB.Net 2.0, which has some public properties, functions. I use WebClient in the class to download data. I created the setup using Deployment Wizard containing Test.dll and Test.tlb. I Install it in a test system and reference the Test.tlb in a word Macro. i can create an object of my com class. Set a property with text. Display the property in a msgbox. The Code as follows: Dim obj As New Testproject.TestClass obj.MyStr= "The Macro works" MsgBox (obj.MyStr) Problems: When i run the macro it gives me error as: -2147024894 File or assembly name Testproject, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

This problem gets reported a lot and every time it's the Automatically 
Update setting on the style, so I'm surprised Michel's post didn't fix 
it.  But maybe your documents aren't formatted in Normal, so here's 
another suggested try:

Make the problem happen. Put the cursor in that text, go to Format | 
Style.  Whatever style it is, click Modify and uncheck "automatically 
update".  Test on the same bit of text, to see if it worked.

If that doesn't work, here's something you can do to help diagnose the 
problem. Make the problem happen.  Then on the Standard Toolbar, check 
out the Undo icon.  Use the little black triangle on the right edge of 
the icon to pull down the Undo list.  What are the last 3 or 4 things 
listed?  That tells us what Word just did.

1.When I change the format of text, Word:mac applies that change to the whole document

I have turned off everything I could find related to autoupdating styles
(incl. Normal), AutoCorrect, and still I'm having to use "undo" (the Apple-z
keystroke) after every formatting change I make.  It's driving me crazy.
What am I missing?  Thanks, qb

2.Text format changes apply to whole document

When I change one item, such as bold, font, color, etc., 
it applies to the whole document and I have to undo ... 
when I "undo" the item I changed remains in the new format 
and the rest of the document returns to its former state. 
Help!

3.Changing the format of selected text causes the entire document format to change

This happens to me as well.

AND: what also happens is that it changes the formatting of the header and footers! It adds two, blank, double-spaced lines!

This is hugely frustrating. It started happening in MS Word 2004 (I'm on Tiger 10.4.11) several months ago and I finally upgraded to MS Word 2008 thinking that would solve it. Nope!

Please send help.

4.applying formatting changes the whole document

Several weeks ago when I attempted to use bullets on a particular paragraph, 
the entire document changed to bullets. I went through several steps, 
including looking to see if I had unknowingly changed something in Tools  | 
Options, or on the AutoCorrect menu and could find nothing new. No matter 
what I did, I could not get bullets to apply to just the selected text. I 
looked at the style format, I looked at reveal formatting and I could not see 
anything wrong. Being in the middle of finishing two papers with deadlines, I 
punted and did not use bullets.
Now, when I select a word or sentence to apply underlining, the same thing 
happens. The whole document becomes formatted with underlining. I can't get 
it to just underline where I want.
I have up-to-date antivirus software, have scanned my system and verified 
that I do not have a virus.
I have been using Word for many years and previously considered myself an 
expert, but I am stumped with this problem.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

5.How to prevent a format change from applying to the whole document

Let's say I select a paragraph of text to make it red. The whole document 
then becomes red ! 

I have to do ctrl Z to only apply the formatting to the selection, but this 
is dangerous on long documents.

Does anyone know how to only apply a formatting to the selected text?
