MS Word

Once one has referenced the Word 9.0 Library in VB.

How Can I create a new document (blank to start with)

and how can I "write" to it without having word open.

I can do this in excel but i cant seem to find any "New" function in the Word library ...

Some sample code would be of great help.

- Thanks.

As with all Office Apps, the easiest way to automate them is to record a Macro in the App, and copy the VB code generated into your project, with minor modifications

VB Code:

Dim MyWord As New Word.Application
 
MyWord.Visible = False
MyWord.Documents.Add
MyWord.Activate
MyWord.Selection.InsertAfter "New Text Here"

Remeber if you keep it with .Visible =False, to quit with
MyWord.Quit wdDoNotSaveChanges
This will prevent an invisible dialog box coming up asking if you want to save changes. (Except of course you can't see it...)

Thanks that helped.

I have another question Though.

How can I Save the content of a word file (with aall the formating)

into aa database for example. to be able to restore it later .

I am not sure this is doable. but it would help a lot.

thanks again.
