I am trying to send a set of commands to MSWord and most of them work,
however there a some commands which do not work.  These commands set up
formatting aournd a previously created table (see below).  When the
commands are uncommented they fail to execute and give me a "not ready"
error.  Does anyone have insight into what might be wrong?
 
The code labeled 'good code'  works, the code labeled 'bad code' does
not.
 
I spoke to the SAS tech support folks and they blamed the problem on
MSWord.
 
/* good code*/
 
               put     '[TableInsertTable.ConvertFrom = "", ' @;
                put     ".NumColumns = &_numcols, " @;
                put     ".NumRows = &_numrows, " @;
                put     '.InitialColWidth = Auto, ' @;
                put     '.Format = 0, ' @;
                put     '.Apply = 167]' ;
 
                put     '[TableSelectTable]' ;
 
/* end of good code*/
 
/* bad code*/
 
                put     '[FormatBordersAndShading .ApplyTo = 3, ' @;
                put     '.Shadow = 0, ' @;
                put     '.TopBorder = 2, ' @;
                put     '.LeftBorder = 2, ' @;
                put     '.BottomBorder = 2, ' @;
                put     '.RightBorder = 2, ' @;
                put     '.HorizBorder = 1, ' @;
                put     '.VertBorder = 1, ' @;
                put     '.TopColor = 0, ' @;
                put     '.LeftColor = 0, ' @;
                put     '.BottomColor = 0, ' @;
                put     '.RightColor = 0, ' @;
                put     '.HorizColor = 0, ' @;
