Hey.
The easiest way to do this (assuming that you are using
standard word documents, etc.) is to edit the standard
documents so that the places where you would like to add
this data into are Text Fields. Then, for the properties
of the textfields, change the name to something you'll
remember (ie. txtName, txtAddr1, etc.). Then, add these
standard documents to the project as embedded resources.
In runtime, you'll want to extract these standard docs to
temp folders, and then load the docs into Word. Then,
you'll just cycle through all of the Document.FormFields
and find the one with the correct name (ie. txtName,
etc.) and set that FormField.Result to the string
representation of whatever that Field's data should be.
To do this, I'm assuming that you have an understanding
of the Word object model, and know how to extract
embedded resources. If you have any further questions,
or aren't too sure how to go about doing what I said
above, don't hesitate to shoot me an email and ask.
Good luck!

I have a simple app that logs details of my customers
and the work done forthem. It uses a few tables in Access and allows me to
keep a basic record ofthings for my accountant.
How can I output the billing info from my app to the
Word doc or maybe Excelspreadsheet? I can gather all the info I need from a
query but I havetrouble sticking into a word document so the info is
placed in the correctplaces in it. ie: name, address, billing info, amounts,
etc.
I can create an instance of work in VB.Net but beyond
that I'm lost. Couldsomebody point me in the right direction for what must
be a much used pieceof coding, or just provide any old advice??
