If you are running PHP on Win32 and that machine has Word installed on it, you should be able to invoke Word functions through the use of COM objects. I have no idea how to do this, though -- you might ask in one of the Win32 fora.
If you are on a non-Win32 OS, there are some libraries which attempt to manipulate Word documents, but I do not know how well they work. WVware is one: . This would entail invoking the library functions as external apps from PHP, though.
There is also a PHP class to manipulate RTF documents published by a Russian programmer. I don't remember the product, but it is for-pay. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions: TANSTAAFL!
