Word Document Template

[False]

Hey all, i'm trying to make a word document template that looks good.. i am transfering data from my vb program onto a word document for printing. I can do that just fine but i'm lacking the certain something that makes my print out look good and eye catching. So far i can only do the basics such as new lines and making it bold. I have an address which should be on the top right and all the data from the form should be centered but in line. The problem i had with that was that my data kept coming out jagged making it look messy.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks a lot

There is no real definitive answer to this. It depends in your individual tastes and the individual tastes of the users that will actually prepare these documents.

One of the things that I like to do is add a bitmap or someother picture file of the company's logo. In my mind, that makes the document really look "official", and if you are dealing with corporate documents, you can't get too snazzy as the stuffed shirts we so fondly refer to as management will label your documents "unprofessional"

i am sure there will be people her who can tell you better than i, but one way you can do this is after you have put everything into your word doc, open it and record a macro to tidy it up, how you want it to look

you can then either
call that macro form vb
or adapt the code in th macro to run from vb, usin gyour word object

it may take a couple of goes to get it right, but once you get the idea to select the text then align the selected text, shouldn't be too hard

***
you can't align center and not have jagged edges you need to align left and move you left margin to suit
