Connect to outlook from C++

Outlook 2007 uses the MS Word editor for composing/viewing emails. I'm trying to get a handle to the Word object within outlook and have most of the code. There's one line that's giving me an error and I'm not sure how to get around it. The compiler refuses to compile because of the line which says QueryInterface. The error is "error C2787: 'MSWord::_Document' : no GUID has been associated with this object". I've been breaking my head over this for hours. Anyone know how to fix this?
