Word Freeze after using mailings via VBS script

hi everyone,

have got trouble application in service, application launch word template , fill mailing (publipostage in fr) option in word via vbs script, in fact after these steps word freeze, have reduce/extend windows , ok, notice problem occure during application of mailings (publipostage in fr), know quite stupid have find issue that.


thank you,

, sorry english,

edit : script, if delete part in bold template word don't freeze mailings don't work, maybe script not good?

thanks again,

all

 ' run word , open merge document
   set owd = wscript.createobject("word.application")
   owd.visible=true
   owd.documents.open sdocfilename

   ' dynamically associates datasource main document , run merge
   set omergedoc = owd.activedocument
   set omerge = omergedoc.mailmerge

   omerge.opendatasource sdatasource, 4 '4=wdopenformattext
   omerge.destination = 0 ' 0 = wdsendtonewdocument
   omerge.viewmailmergefieldcodes = false
   omerge.execute

   ' after merge, main document no more merge document
   omerge.maindocumenttype = -1 ' -1 = wdnotamergedocument

   ' no more merge document, doesn't maintain link data source :
   ' datasource file can deleted.
   ofso.deletefile sdatasource

   ' result of merge considered 'saved' : message 'do want save ...'
   ' not displayed when closing it.
   omergedoc.saved = true

   ' no need keep main document open
   ' warning : must last instruction of macro because other vba instructions
   ' ignored when container document closed
   omergedoc.close

   set owd=nothing

are sdocfilename , sdatasource both have the correct filepath , filename contents , sdatasource plain text file? , after:
set omerge = omergedoc.mailmerge
might need specify merge type, example:
omerge.maindocumenttype = 0 'wdformletters

i note script neither saves mailmerge output document nor closes word; take intention leave word running output document displayed.
