Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Know you can grab a few lines of normally formatted text (fe not heading info) like this: break on $filename = "c:\test.doc" $word = createobject("word.application") if $word $= $word.documents.open("$filename") $text = $word.activedocument.content.text ?"text=$text" $word.quit $word = 0 endif exit 1 -Shawn [ 03.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	jens, that conversion is the thing I want to avoid with using com to read doc file. if given word the ability to convert the file, it's screwed up, no matter what the conversion is. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	also found out that when word converts it's text to html, it destroys all tables and such. but .converttotext you can specify how the conversion is done and tables are there... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

For anybody who is interested..

code:

break on
$filename = "C:\TEST.DOC"

$word = createobject("word.application")

if $word
 $= $word.documents.open("$filename")
 $format = 5

 $word.activedocument.saveas("c:\kent.txt",$format)

 ;where $format can be (amongst others):
 ;5 - text
 ;6 - rtf
 ;8 - html
 $word.quit
 $word = 0
endif

exit 1
