Farouk,

I'm at home and I haven't worked with the OLE to Word in a while. I have a cheat sheet containing how to open files, change page layout (margins, page sizes), fonts, indent, paragraphs etc. When I get back to work on Monday, I will paste a copy to you. Just joined UT and I may be able to email to you also.

Robert.
