Writing Word Documents
I am successfully opening a word document that is a Mail Merge document.
I can successfully locate all the merge fields and replace them with
data from a datasource,
Now I would like to create a new word document to write to disk, (that
contains the updated info), but I am having a heck of a time doing
so....
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Sean

Another possibility is to use one of the newer Word formats. Ever since
2003, it has been possible to use an XML-based format, which is a lot
easier to modify from external tools.

Hi Sean,
sorry for the ugly news, but the HWPF library is too incomplete to do this.
Using RTF - as Angelo Zerr mentioned - looks like an easier solution (based
on the assumption that you can live with RTF).
best wishes, Rainer

Hi Sean
I'm sorry, I have not answer for your question.
But If you can use RTF format, you could use RTFtemplate, which is RTF egine
RTF to RTF which merge data with MERGEFIELDS. You can found RTFtemplate at
http://rtftemplate.sourceforge.net/
