Hi Markus, as a first time user I made an assumption that this "error:
com_get: property/method invocation on the COM object failed with error
`0x800a16e6'"is occurring due to bug so I raised it as a bug report rather
than mailing address@hidden. How should I know if something is a bug in
Octave?, the presence of an error code like this 0x800a16e6 is often
indicative of a bug in many software platforms, please let me know thanks.
Also I'm not familiar enough with Octave to work out how to decide if the bug
is in Octave or the windows package at this time.

Hi John, many thanks for your input, I went through the remaining code and
inserted the (). The code runs almost all the way to the end now so this is an
encouraging start for my first use of Ocatve. I now have an issue trying to
use a modified version of Andreas's FigureIntoWord function which results in
this error below. But I will see if I could get some further help with this
via address@hidden as it doesn't seem like a bug to me but more a lack of
understanding of printing in Octave verses Matlab.
thanks Andrew
