    MS Word's Doc format, as much as I know, is not a free format, so it's not strange that there is not an article about it. However it is possible to use reverse engineering or other hacks to find out the format of the file, and I'll not be surprised if I see some one did that already. Searching the web might help you find the format, after that it's as easy as creating a file with similar format and putting text into true order.

      That's another solution:) I've never used automation. Does it work in a situation that the end user has not MS Office installed?

        Apart from what's already said, you might consider to create a RTF-file. A RTF file can be handeled by (almost ?) all word processing programs. I found a specification (1.9) at MS here[^]

          You don't need to have word fully installed but you at least need to install the component.

              How do you do this without also installing Word?

                You may consider going looking at the OpenOffice source at http://www.openoffice.org[^]as the project includes the ability to import and export MS Word compatible files. Rilhas
