Writing to a file

[smileyface5]

Im trying to write vba code for MS Word that will send all the text that is being typed in the word document to a .txt file on the c:\. How do i do this?

Also is there a way of writing to standard output (DOS) from vba?

Thank you

How about instead of writting out to a file every keypress, you just save the
document to a text format upon the document close event or such?

because i am trying to create a spell and grammar check in a foreign language and i want it to be checking the entire time.
do you know of any way?

I just stopped in real quick before I head home. You can create your own WithEvents
to capture the keypress or change events. I will post an example when I get
home.

I remembered I wrote a demo in Word VBA to trap events. Check out this link - post #11.
