Exception setting "DisplayAlerts": "Cannot convert value "False" to type "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdAlertLevel" about nishang HOT 9 CLOSED

Line 179 contains this:

$Word.DisplayAlerts = $False

Outside of the version check loop when modifying an existing doc.

Perhaps the issue?

Fixing that, you then get another error...

Argument: '2' should be a System.Management.Automation.PSReference. Use [ref].
At C:\Out-Word.ps1:292 char:17

•             $Doc.Saveas([ref]$SavePath, 0)

This seems to make it all play nice:

            $SaveFormat = “microsoft.office.interop.word.WdSaveFormat” -as [type]
            $Doc.Saveas([ref]$SavePath, [ref]$SaveFormat::wdFormatDocumentDefault)

from nishang.

Probably want [ref]0 or the Macro doesn't get embedded.

Thanks for the fix! Let me test this.

It works like charm on windows 7 with office 2013 - or maybe it's to do with AMSI ?

Try it with a simple payload (like Get-Process), if the same error persists, its AMSI. Though I don't think it is AMSI. I will test it tomorrow and fix this issue.

Cool, trying now and keep you posted,
