Hello Frans

I had a similar problem doing a find and replace using Office automation, I found that I had to put a delay between the calls to the automation process. I assumed that sometimes Word had not finished all of its processess before I called it again.

DelayBeforeClosing(300)
Info("Waiting for MS Word to close")
DelayBeforeClosing()
