I am having trouble using the R2wd package.  The last time I used it
successfully, I was running an earlier version of R and an earlier version
of Word with an earlier Windows OS.  I'm not sure which if any of these
changes might be contributing to the problem.  Right now I'm using
      R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) for Windows
      MS Word 2010 version 14.0.6112.5000 (32-bit)
      Windows 7 Enterprise 2009 (Service Pack 1)

When I submit the following code
      library(R2wd)
      library(rcom)
      wdGet()
I get this error message
      Error in if (wdapp[["Documents"]][["Count"]] == 0)
wdapp[["Documents"]]$Add() :
        argument is of length zero
I have a new R on a new Win7 OS since I last wdget() so i decided to try 
to reproduce your error
I tried your code and got the same error (R2.15.1), but the library(rcom)

However, as you note below, that line also told me to install 
RDCOMClient with the command;

installstatconnDCOM()

I did this and the install happened seamlessly with only a few user 
interactions.

wdget() now works just fine.  The only missing instruction here is that 
it is necessary to stop and restart R after installing the RDCOMClient.  
If you did not try that give it a try.  It worked well for me.

I saw in a previous posting to r-help (
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R2wd-error-in-wdGet-td4632737.html), someone
asked if RDCOMClient was installed and working properly.  So, I tried
submitting this code
      install.packages("RDCOMClient", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R")
And I got this warning message:
package ?RDCOMClient? is not available (for R version 2.15.0)

I also ran
      installstatconnDCOM()
And it seemed to install fine.  But when I try to run statconn DCOM's
Server 01 ? Basic Test, and then select Start R, I get this message
      Loading StatConnector Server... Done
      Initializing R...Function call failed
        Code: -2147221485
        Text: installation problem: unable to load connector
           Method '~' of object '~' failed
      Releasing StatConnector Server...Done

Any suggestions for how I might get wdGet() to work?

Thanks in advance.
