text in VB ---> Word doc ?

I'm reasonably conversant w/ VB and VBA but I can't figure out how to do what I believe should be a simple operation which is to take a bunch of text and stuff it into MS Word (opening an instantiation of Word as part of the process). I can worry about formatting & stuff later, if someone can just push on my chest to get me breathing.

Thanks for your time.

Hi there phinds, here is a little sample for u

VB Code:

'----------------------------------------
'- Name:    peet
'- Email:   [email][email protected][/email]
'- Web: 
'- Company: PvP
'----------------------------------------
'- Notes:   opens a word document using
'       the MS Word object lib.
'----------------------------------------
Option Explicit
 
Private objWord As Word.Application
Private wd As Word.Document
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim myRange As Range
    Dim sSearchfor As String
 
    If objWord Is Nothing Then
        Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Else
        Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
    End If
    DoEvents
    Set wd = objWord.Documents.Open("c:\Test.doc")
    'here u can do stuff with the document
    'using the wd object
        
    'adding some text to it
    wd.ActiveWindow.Selection.TypeText "ABCDEFGH peet was here ! :-)"
    
    'when finished manipulating the document, u can show it To the user
    objWord.Visible = True
 
    'quit word
    If Not (wd Is Nothing) Then Set wd = Nothing
    If Not (objWord Is Nothing) Then objWord.Application.Quit
    If Not (objWord Is Nothing) Then Set objWord = Nothing
End Sub

hope this can get u off to a good start :)
