Thanks Francois, I have put off using TWord stuff so far, and this solves my problem for now, so I guess I will keep putting off that approach for now. But thanks for the suggestion - I was considering going that way, and will next time.

It is easy to call word directly from Delphi. You have everything you need to create a Word document directly by instructing word to do everything like you would have done manually. It is very easy to use. Look at TWordDocument and TWordApplication components. You'll find a lot of articles by searching with Google. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> Delphi-Talk@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> Delphi-Talk@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
