Disable Word Alerts

[Guest]

I'm using automation for mail merging but the process hangs because at some
stage some alerts may come around!
I have tried:
wrdApp.DisplayAlerts = Word.WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsNone;
&
wrdApp.DisplayAlerts =0;
all I need is to produce a word document and save it in the back end. I
don't need to see the word document while the process is done. so, is there
a way to by pass
there alerts?

Cheers.

Firstly, it's important for you to realise that server-side automation of
Office products is not supported at all by Microsoft, and is highly likely
not to work:

1) If your document doesn't require hugely complicated formatting, create an
HTML document and give it a .doc extension - Word will treat it just like a
regular Word document.

2) Use the (relatively) new XML file format:

3) Use Aspose:
