Add VBA code to a MS Word document using Perl

Question

I have a Perl script that can define and write MS Word VBA according to the user's input.

How can I make the Perl script open Word and add the VBA code into its code data base?

Answer 1

You can do that by accessing the VBProject property of the document. However, with recent versions of Microsoft Office, you will likely get:

OLE exception from "Microsoft Word":

Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted.

See You may receive an run-time error when you programmatically allow access KB article for more information.

Or, you can try to do it the primitive way by sending keystrokes to Word using Win32::GuiTest .
