Hello,

I want to write the formatted text in doc file like change the colour
of text and size

Did I understand you correctly that you are reading (plain text?) data from
a database, and would like to write that data with some formatting to a
file?

If so, then in what format the database data is? Is it already formatted?
And, what kind of formatting would you like to use in the file? Without more
information I'm afraid we cannot help you much.

Thanks!

Hello Amit,

If you want to format the document file, you could use simple HTML or for
instance RTF. Depending on your application, you could either create this
data in HTML or RTF format yourself (not that difficult), or you could use
Word through OLE Automation (COM) which gives you all the formatting
features that Word has. But this usually isn't a good option if your
application is a web application (ASP.NET) for example.
