That I don't know. Try asking on the gnavi list; a while ago, someone there reported interfacing to Microsoft Word via GNATCOM. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnavi/ for the gnavi list. Here's the specific link to that report: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11390072 On the other hand, typing "word type library" into the search box at www.microsoft.com leads to this page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;143434 That says the type library was provided with Word 97. I have Word 2002; Msword*.olb is not on my disk. Searching for *.tlb and *.olb turned up quite a bit of stuff, but nothing that looks like Word. There is also lots of other information in the Microsoft search results, but nothing that jumps up and says "here's the Word API". This link looks like a good starting point: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/152023/EN-US/ It may be that you have to buy an MS developer's license. Good luck! -- -- Stephe
