Powershell: Pass parameter by name toa com object function

Question

How can I pass parameters to a com-object function by name rather than by position?

Specifically, I've a com-object function (Word document com-object SaveAs2) and for example I want to pass values to the 2 first parameters and to the last parameter (CompatibilityMode).

Don't think it can be done. You can shortcut it somewhat though: `$Arglist = "Document.docx",16 + (,$null*14) + 12` — Mathias R. Jessen, Feb 16 '15 at 11:25
@MathiasR.Jessen Neat idea, but I'm still hopeful. I've sent this to "The Scripting Guys" as well. — EliadTech, Feb 16 '15 at 14:11
