Use a prewritten doc as a template - ie: mytemplate.doc. At runtime create a new doc based on that template :

oWord = createobject("word.application")
with oWord
 .Documents.Add("c:\myPath\myTemplate.doc")
 .Variables("SomeVar").Value = "SomeNewValue" && docvariable "SomeVar" /mergeformat field
 .visible = .t.
endwith
