Hi, That does look interesting and I will certainly spike it. One requirement I have is to open existing documents and alter their content. I am looking at the openxml stuff. The problem is most of our clients use office 2003. Does anybody know if I can use openxml for office 2003? Or can I use Gios word for doing this? Does anybody know how I an do this without COM automation? Cheers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
