There is another way to get to the Word-constants, which in my experience is more stable, when there are many constants, as there indeed are in Word.

I would like to encourage you to try this instead to see if it helps:
use Win32::Shortcut; use Win32::OLE qw(in with); use Win32::OLE::Const; ##=>Changed my $wdc = Win32::OLE::Const->Load("Microsoft Word"); ##=>Added my $x = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Word.Application'); # snip $x->Selection->Delete( { Unit=> $wdc->{wdCharacter}, ##=>Changed Count=>1 } );

Searching through some old email conversations with jand, the author/maintainer of Win32::OLE, from 2002 I found this.

Nothing new under the sun, it seems. But the indicated way works.

Notice that your erroneous linenumber is -1 whereas mine is 65535, 16 bit integers or what?

HTH

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
