Accessing MS Word Header

Will

I have found a few posts about this but none of them seem to work. I am
trying to access the header row from a MS Word 2003 document. I can
open Word, but not access the header. I am using the following code:

var
MSWord, Table, Header: OLEVariant;
Begin
MSWord := CreateOleObject('Word.Application');

if OpenDialog1.Execute then
AWordDoc := OpenDialog1.FileName;

try
MSWord.Visible := False;
MSWord.Documents.Open(AWordDoc);

//Get the header information
Header :=
MSWord.ActiveDocument.Sections.Item(1).Headers.Item('wdHeaderFooterPrimary');

I am receiving the error Type Mismatch. Other posts discussed defining
the Header variable as type HeaderFooter, but that gives me an error
too. Am I missing something in the uses section?
