This article was previously published under Q279721 SUMMARY
This article describes how to use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) in Visual C++ to communicate with Excel and Word.
NOTE: When possible, it is recommended that you use Automation, not DDE, to communicate with Excel or Word. Excel and Word have rich object models that provide functionality through Automation that is not available with DDE. Excel versions 5.0 and later, and Word versions 7.0 and later, support Automation.
