Alright, I managed to create instances of Word.Application and Word.Document. It was either a licensing or version problem ( I installed Word 2000 and it worked).

So now I need help with document manipulation. Before I do anything, I read a TXT file and store its contents into the clipboard.

Once that is done, I open up my instances of Word.Application and Word.Document. No problem there, I set them visible and give them focus. What I am looking for now is a way to insert the contents of the clipboard into the document. (The document BTW will already contain a graphical header)

I'm sure this would be possible using SendKeys, but I find that SendKeys is slow and unreliable.(Too many uncertainties, too many things can go wrong).

I looked through the methods and properties of Word.Document but didn't find anything pertaining to editing the textual contents of the file. Is there something I'm missing, or some poorly named method that does what I'm looking for? I saw a method called SetLetterContent and thought this might be useful.

I know I can declare an instance of class LetterContent, but what is LetterContent, and what does it contain? Am I on the right track?

If anyone has any insight on this I would appreciate it greatly, Thanks.
