The examples here are essentially MS Word automation.

Don't forget about the Office 2000 Developer Edition, which includes the tools and docs for Office 2000 products. And the MSDN Library (3 CD set updated quarterly) is the comprehensive and definitive information. Check the FAQ for how VFP6/Visual Studio owners may qualify for a 1 year subscription depending on the product version they own. Office 2000 Developer is not a free resource. Netiehr is an MSDN Library subscription if you don't have a registered version of one of the qualifying product.

>>word, wordperfect, etc from VFP

You'll probably need to contact Corel (or whoever is selling WordPerfect these days) to find out what if any automation models are available for it. I would not expect to find docs from MS telling youy how to automate it.
