Please let me know. This is definitely possible, but it's a lot for your first project. I would look into Perl/Tk for the GUI. (http://www.perltk.org) If cross-platform support is not an issue then there are other GUI interfaces that you can research as well. Google for "Perl GUI" and you'll get a number of hits. To create Word documents, I would look into using an existing Perl module. The best place to find modules, IMHO, is CPAN. (http://search.cpan.org) A quick search there points to possibly using Win32::Word::Writer and Win32::Word::Writer::Table. You could also using OLE Automation using Win32::OLE. For cross-platform support you may want to look at something like RTF::Writer. I have not had a need to create Word documents from Perl myself, so I can not recommend any of the above modules as more or less suitable. Do a little research. When you get stuck please post your code to date and people will be generally be glad to help you work through it.
