Are you attemting to open the DOC file within VB, or just read in line by line?

just read in line by line?


I want to read hole doc file and i hv to take some description depend on some keywords and assign into textboxes

Buddu:

Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
    .Text = "FName"
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = False
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    .MatchWildcards = False
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute

This will highlight the keyword you are looking for in the document.
I don't know how you will know how long to make the selection in
order to copy the following word(s). You will have to move, but this may help.

Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=2
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=?, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Copy

Then paste it into the relevant VB textbox.
