EXCEL VBA: Ignore word document errors and read content -

i writing vba code read word document content , paste them in excel sheets, fine,

but while reading multiple word documents of word document shows error messages example "word not fire event", due program hangs up.

can suggest vba code ignore these type of error , read word content.

i have placed code below.

dim odoc word.document set odoc = getobject("d:\176013(1).doc") str = odoc.content.text  msgbox (str) odoc.close (0) 

based on answers

dim wdapp word.application dim odoc word.document set wdapp = createobject("word.application") wdapp.displayalerts = **** 'unable give false here, shows 3 options wdalertsnone, wdalertsmessagebox, wdalertsall set odoc = wdapp.documents.open("d:\176013(1).doc") str = odoc.content.text odoc.close (0) wdapp.quit false 

try

application.displayalerts = false

if use other application objects, have set displayalerts = false on object.

dim app word.application set app = createobject("word.application") dim odoc word.document app.displayalerts = wdalertsnone on error resume next set odoc = app.documents.open("d:\176013(1).doc") on error goto 0 str = odoc.content.text  msgbox (str) odoc.close (0) app.quit 

note: on error resume next statement risky. expects know skipped error. if error corrupts document, may not able read contents of document (in next line), statement on error goto 0 resets error handling default, if error in line, error shown.
