In what programming lang?

if it's VB then it's simple, just add an reference to your project to the word object and :


Dim wrdApp as word.application
set wrdApp = createobject("word.application")

wrdApp.whateveryouwant

set wrdApp = nothing




yes i know it's not the most beutifull code ;-)

Add a reference to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSWORD.OLB

Then in the IDE, hit F2. You can then select the WORD library and check it out:

I have done a fair bit of programming with the Word object library. One thing that I do a lot of is to use the macro recorder to generate code and then paste the code into the stuff you are doing. You can parameterize all of the hard references that the maro recorder will make.

Also, really get to know the .range object. It is the key.
