No. You cannot mess with MSWord DOCs that way. You'd corrupt them. It might be easiest to save the document as RTF instead and modify that one. RTF is plaintext format so that should be much easier. You might even try to use http://jenda.krynicky.cz/#Template::RTF Though it's a bit messy, hasn't been touched for years, the database related commands use Win32::ODBC (should not be too hard to change to DBI though), etc. etc. etc. Jenda =========== [EMAIL PROTECTED] == http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ========== There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere. It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain. I can't find it. --- me _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
