About OLE also have a look at : http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Reference/Products/ActivePerl/faq/Windows/A ctivePerl-Winfaq12.html and search google for OLE AUTOMATION PERL keywords Here are some snipets of code you can give a try to. Make sure you install the relevant modules first : #+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ use OLE; $application = CreateObject OLE 'Word.Application' || die $!; $application->{'Visible'} = 1; $doc = $application->Documents->Add(); $s = $application->Windows(1)->Selection; $s->{Text} = 'Hello, world!' ; #+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ use WIN32::OLE; eval {$application = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Word.Application')}; die "Microsoft Word not found !" if $@; unless (defined $application) { $application = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application', sub {$_[0]->Quit;}) or die "Oops, cannot start Word"; } $application->{'Visible'} = 1; $doc = $application->Documents->Add(); $s = $application->Windows(1)->Selection; $s->{Text} = 'Hello, world!' ; $application->Selection->Font->{'Bold'}="1"; $application->Selection->Font->{'Size'}="14"; _____________________________________________ Bruno Bellenger Sr. Network/Systems Administrator -----Original Message----- From: Mark Bergeron [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 2:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Opening and writing to Word.docs Hello group, Could someone give me a link or two on the topic of opening and writing to Word 2000, 2002 files?
