You can visit http://www.officeocx.com/Dialog-Type.htm to see all the enumeration values.

22.    Automating Office Document

The control also supports a property called GetIDispatch that allows you to obtain a reference to the IDispatch interface of the embedded object. From this interface you can automate the object to perform tasks, edit parts of the document, or gather information about what a user has added or removed. For example, if you have a Word document open, you can use code that resembles the following to add a line of text:

Dim oDoc As Word.Document

Set oDoc = OA1. GetIDispatch

oDoc.Content.Text = "This was added by Automation"

The ability to control the object while the object is embedded is very powerful.
