SYMPTOMSWhen you run a Word 2.x DDE macro that includes a DDERequest$() function in Word 6.0, unexpected results may occur. On examination of your macro, you will see that the DDERequest$() function doesn't return the line-feed terminator, CHR$(10). CAUSE
In Word version 6.0 for Windows, the DDERequest$() function returns a
string followed by a single ANSI character, CHR$(13). In Word version
2.x for Windows, DDERequest$() returns a string followed by two ANSI
characters, namely CHR$(13) and CHR$(10).
RESOLUTIONAs a result of this change, you must modify your Word 2.x macros to use them in Word 6.0 so they expect a single terminator.
