A couple of ideas:
1) You can check CPAN to see if there is a module like Spreadsheet::WriteExcel for Word, otherwise your best bet might be to convert a Word Macro into Perl. You can do this with Win32::OLE. Check the documentation for Win32::OLE, and you should see some examples using Excel. After that, you can use the macro recorder to record some of the basic things you want to do. From there you should be able to get an idea of where to proceed next. 2) As for the email template, it might just be simpler to have Perl generate an SMTP mail and send it to you, and you can add the addresses and forward it on from there. -----Original Message----- From: Kirby_Sarah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 11:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Word and Outlook Hi all, I was wondering, can Perl create and format a Word document using a template and can Perl create draft copies of Emails with (or without) attachments? I want to automate a report process so that perl generates the reports (which I do right now into HTML format that I then save as a Word document) and creates the emails so I can send them out. I need drafts because some of the emails need to have additional addresses added on manually. -Sarah Kirby LAN Support BLS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
