Thanks Craig. The RTF Solution works 100%. (Just wish M$ would make their reading material more understandable:))

I don't think you will be able to do this from a text file -- word will obey line breaks but no other formatting. Have you had a look at the RTF format? It will work in any version of word and will let you do what you want. A file something like this should work: {\rtf1\ansi\deff0 {\fonttbl {\f0 Times New Roman;}} \paperw16834 \paperh11909 \margl1440 \margr1900 \margt1800 \margb1800 \landscape \f0\fs20 Line 1 Page 1\line Line 2 Page 1\page Line 1 Page 2\line Line 2 Page 2\page Line 1 Page 3\line Line 2 Page 3 } This is a three page file \line replaces CRLF and \page replaces page feed characters. Word takes care of wrapping. When using landscape in RTF, you need to specify paper size and margins (in this case A4). If you wanted to use a fixed width font replace Times New Roman with Courier. This information was taken from some of our RTF generating programs, but originally from the RTF Pocket Guide from O'Reilly.
