OLE Automation: question about Word SaveAs

[Greg Howard]

I am trying to work on a project where I have to open a Word document
and convert it back to WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS. I have found a
machine that has not had the Word XP SP3 installed, so I can still do
the SaveAs command, but when I save as WP Word will pop a message box
asking me to confirm that some formatting may be lost and do I want to
continue. Before I try to automate this process any further can
anyone guide to a place where I can turn off this confirmation
message?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried setting the DisplayAlerts property on the Word object you
create? There is no way to suppress all error messages, though, so no
guarantees it will work:
