"winword" is the command to open microsoft word. of course it GOES without saying word must be installed.Quote from: Reno on March 31, 2009, 04:50:01 AM i dont know how to open MS WORD in MS DOS, let me know if you somehow successfully install ms word in DOS. Depends which version you mean... I used it for years. I preferred WordPerfect, but Word was OK. Microsoft Word 5.5 for DOS is still available, and it's free. (Legally). Microsoft is giving it away. Turns out Microsoft released a Y2K patch for Word back in 1999, and rather than try to sell it, they just posted the whole program on the web for anyone to take. It can run in real MS-DOS, in a DOS box under Windows, or in DOSBox under OSX or Linux. http://download.microsoft.com/download/word97win/Wd55_be/97/WIN98/EN-US/Wd55_ben.exe interesting, there is actually ms word for ms dos. back in ms-dos era, i remember using a word processor, forgot what it's called, only remember the interface is all in blue color. mostly use the 286 to play games, and using infinity.exe & norton to hack save game. the ol good days. as for windows version of ms word & nt cmd.exe Code: [Select]C:\>winword.exe 'winword.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.have to specify full path to it, or add it in %PATH%. but if you already have association of .doc file to winword, just typing the document name will launch winword. Code: [Select]C:\>assoc .doc .doc=Word.Document.8 C:\>ftype word.document.8 word.document.8="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" /n /dde C:\>test.doc Cheers guys i will try it wen i get to college 2morrow only problem is i gotta do it through there "H" drive cause there C drive is useless cause it got Congic on it ^^Quote from: Reno on March 31, 2009, 07:31:28 AM back in ms-dos era, i remember using a word processor, forgot what it's called, only remember the interface is all in blue color.Blue background was in a lot of word processors- including the built-in EDIT, as well as Microsoft Works. I think word had a blue background, but I never used it. Quote as for windows version of ms word & nt cmd.exe or: Code: [Select]Start winword Quote but if you already have association of .doc file to winword, just typing the document name will launch winword. true, but I myself have gotten into the habit of using START to explicitly state what I want done. They both end up calling ShellExecute() or ShellExecuteEx(), but for some reason I feel the semantics are different.When you go to C:\ just write those commands cd program files and press Enter you get C:\Program Files> cd microsoft office and press Enter you get C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office> cd office11 and press Enter you get C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11> now at the end of this just write WINWORD and press Enter The Microsoft Word will start. I tested this and worked to me. Cheers.I wonder why this doesn't work for me.. Oh I KNOW! I have word installed in my program files directory, which is on D:\. Start winword works regardless of the installed location because the winword is a registered ActiveX Server application. In fact, the logic above is as flawed as this: Code: [Select]public FUNCTION UPPERCASE(BYval strUpper as STRING) as String If strUpper="string" then uppercase = "STRING" else err.raise 13,"could not ucase, unrecognized value!" end if which is completely useless and stupid. it "works" but only with a very specific set of circumstances, namely, that the parameter is "string". This is a protracted version of your example, which assumes that everybody has their "program files" folder on their C: drive. this can differ based on roaming profile settings and also on the Windows install drive, not to mention, in my case, the use of TweakUI to change the folder to a larger drive.Quote from: dr_iton on March 31, 2009, 02:12:58 PM When you go to C:\ just write those commands tested and worked so easily thankyou haha i dunno if we was supposed to do it this way but if not me is awsome for smarter ^^ lmao nah really thankyou though. really good and easyit's NOT a good way of doing it. I already explained that. It only works in the default case. Not everybody has it installed in that specific location. another way could be through script, which completely side-steps any path issues whatsoever. Code: [Select]'in openword.vbs set word = GetObject("","Word.Application") Word.Visible=true Set Word=Nothing |
