Foxpro Word Automation Replace

The word Macro generates following code to do search and "REPLACE"
With Selection.Find
.Text = "findword"
.Replacement.Text = "replaceword"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With

The above will not work in Foxpro, Foxpro use positional parameters
Function Execute([FindText], [MatchCase], [MatchWholeWord], [MatchWildcards], [MatchSoundsLike], [MatchAllWordForms], [Forward], [Wrap], [Format], [ReplaceWith], [Replace], [MatchKashida], [MatchDiacritics], [MatchAlefHamza], [MatchControl]) As Boolean

To use in Foxpro, we have to provide all paramters in right sequence till "ReplaceWith". We can omit rest of the parameters
Const wdFindContinue = 1

oword.Selection.Find.Execute(tcOriginal, .f., .f., .f., .f., .f., .t., wdFindContinue, .f., tcReplace)

Foxpro SYS(987) can be used to return remote Varchar data as ANSI for use with Memo fields.

By setting SYS(987, .T.) the data will be in ANSI format.
