Hi Iru,

How do you convert a file from .doc to .xls <at all> ??

Are they not fundamentally different in structure, contents and use?

Yours puzzled,
Fergus

Hi Iru,

In addition to Fergus,
a Doc file is a free style text file
a XLS file is a style descibtion
and when you did mean
a XML file that is a structured data file.
and to make it complete
a HTML file is a free style text file for with the posibitlity to use
the two above (and more things).

Hi Iru,
i have to convert .doc file to .xls file from vb.net

As Fergus and Cor have intimated, this can't be done. At

is you need to do? Do you have documents in Word with
tables, for example, that should go into Excel? Or...?

Hi, everything works apart from the last line :-(( rng.Value2.ToString() An exception is thrown : "Old format or invalid type library" It gets compiled though (so he recognizes the property 'Value2'). So I suppose I'm using a incompatible type lib. I'm using Excel 2002 : Excel 10.0 Object Library

Hi - I'm able to open excel workbooks and word documents, but I can't seem to copy excel charts, named ranges, etc. to a word document. Anyone know of good reference material in this area? What little documentation I've been able to find focuses on using only one office app at a time. Thanks for your help
