The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions
   for Windows, version 5.0
 - Microsoft Visual Basic Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions
   for Windows, version 4.0
 - Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When opening an embedded Microsoft Word 97 object in a separate application
window, you get an extra blank document. This happens the second and any
subsequent times you open the embedded document during your applications
session. Trying to close the dummy document after closing the embedded
document will cause the following error:

On Windows NT:

   File: Winword.exe - Application Error

On Windows 95:

   This Program has preformed an illegal operation

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Microsoft Word will display a blank dummy document the second and any
subsequent times you open an embedded Word 97 document stored in an OLE
control.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.

2. Add an OLE control to Form1.

3. From the Insert Object dialog box, choose Create New. From the Object
   Type list, select Microsoft Word Document.

4. Enter some text in the embedded Word Document.

5. Click elsewhere on the form to deselect the OLE control.

6. Press the F5 key to run the project.

7. Right-click on the OLE control and choose OPEN.

   NOTE: This can also be done in code by issuing a DoVerb -2 on the OLE
   control. For example: OLE1.DoVerb –2.

8. After Word starts, select Close & Return to Unnamed from the File Menu.

9. Repeat steps 7 and 8. You will now see a blank Document1.

10. Close the Document1 window in Word and note that you receive one of the
   errors described at the beginning of this article.
