That wasn't the problem... The problem was that Word was refusing to
save a document when I called ActiveDocument.SaveAs until I had set
ActiveDocument.Saved to false... I was stupidly assuming I could force a
save just by calling the method but word was optimising my call away by
saying "just a moment the saved flag says this document is already saved" 
(even though it wasn't *grr*)

I would love to do it all on a Unix box... but it isn't for me it is for
the secretary downstairs to use... *sigh*

Anyway thanks for trying... :) It sort of works now (as well as anything
coded in Visual Basic for Applications and running of Win95 can work!)
