Hi Rok. Not a direct answer to your question, but..... Does it need to be a .doc? When I had to create documents I found it easier to create a .rtf file instead. RTF supports most of the formatting features you're likely to require and and much more portable. There are a number of modules on CPAN for creating RTF files, but I didn't even need those. I simply created the blank letter in OpenOffice putting placeholders where I wanted to insert text and then simply used that as a template for my perl prog - I was using it to extract data from our company management system written in COBOL to create pre-mailmerged documents (having a mailmerge/datasource and using Word to do the mailmerge took too long!!!) -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
