If you need this functionality only for windows and you are using AIR then this may help you http://aperture.fluorinefx.com/ As it does not provide currently any word specific api one option would be to save an xml file with the content then run a vbscript that converts it to a doc file (you would use the aperture framework to launch your script with cscript.exe) Another option would be to....write your own c++ library to do that and invoke it through the framework (but I guess this is out of discussion) Zoli

Rick Winscot a écrit : Hmm Microsoft can barely do that! Seriously though a native .doc file? Directly no. If you have a server with a product like Aspose Word (www.aspose.com) installed maybe. The straight forward scenario is to install components or libraries on the server (since Flex would have a difficult time loading/saving anything or interfacing with anything client side). Sorry but my last message wasn't send in totality ?!?!? For my problem I can't use your solution because clients must be able to generate a Word document even when they are disconnect from the server. For example if it's a Desktop AIR application and they lose th econnection, they must be able to create a word document. thank you for helping me
