Symptom
An error occurs when executing the following code using Word OLE in PowerBuilder:
lole_object.ActiveWindow.Selection.InsertAfter(‘abc’)
Environment
PowerBuilder 2017 or later
MS Word 2007 or 2013
Cause
Starting from MS Word 2016, it supports the Read Mode. After you open a document, it is in Read Mode by default. So it fails to execute the insert operation.
Solution
After you open the document in OLE, execute the following code to turn off Read Mode:
lole_object.ActiveWindow.View.ReadingLayout = False
