Automation & Office 365

Hi,

I've got an old VFP app that uses Word 2007 to do a mail merge using automation. The client has now moved to Office 365 and of course this breaks the automation. I am seeing some evidence that if the 32 bit of Office 365 is installed locally then the automation should work.

Office 365 and OLE Word Merge in Visual Foxpro Application (microsoft.com) https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/496b97f2-239b-4981-b7c5-88192d5b18eb/office-365-and-ole-word-merge-in-visual-foxpro-application?forum=visualfoxprogeneral

Has anyone actually got this to work?

If not, what alternatives are there for generating Word documents from VFP?
