    search this forum for "Word automation" or "automate Word", this sort of thing is asked all the time - you'll get lots of useful tips for this and everything else you'll need to do with it once you have it open.

    heres a good tip

    open up word, and record a macro of whatever you wanna do, then edit teh macro and youve pretty much got all the code you need in Vb right in front of you

    when you close Word (or just a document) you can pass a "save the changes" parameter, just set it to false, eg:

    oWord.Close SaveChanges := False

    use one of these depending on what you want

    VB Code:
    1. ActiveDocument.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges

    2.     ActiveDocument.Close wdPromptToSaveChanges

    3.     ActiveDocument.Close wdSaveChanges
