MS Word Automation with Viasual Basic 2008 (2010)

[jake007]

As the title says. I am researching the possibility of using vb 2008 or 2010 to create a proposal generation system. The goal is to have the user enter the new proposal info, ie..Company, Contact info, Machines to be quoted and so on. Once the proposal is complete, i would like to transfer that data to a word 2007 template. Basically I am looking for some direction in getting started. Does anyone know of any books/articles which will take me from the basics to advanced techniques for Word Automation with VB?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

This link should give you a good starting point. It's for VB 2005, but the techniques haven't changed substantially from VB 2005 to VB 2008.
