Re: strings chopped in half using COM objects

I posted a fairly lengthy description of the solution to this problem (or at least getting a handle on understanding it) about two weeks back. You might search through the archives for it. But a cursory glance over your code might lead me to believe that you need () instead of [] (function call) on item(). Then I am sure you will need to split your "ported VB code" into two lines. Probably something like: $Item = $word->Tasks->Item($i); echo $Item->Name; will be closer to working.
