word format

[ssj3gohan]

is there any way of making a vb prog create a word file without using OLE? i was thinking of writing the headers for the word file with the print or put commands.

thanks

Sounds like the hard way of doing things! You can get the info for some of the Word Doc specs here:

You might also consider generating RichText (which Word will open)
