>Does anyone know a good site for finding a list of word OLE commands and how to use them. I am having the worst time even writing programmatically to word. This is my first time doing more than just opening a word document programmatically so any and all help is appreciated

You might want to pick up a book - Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Word 2000 Automation in 24 Hours by Pamela Palmer is being used by a couple of the adult education programs around here and seems to be well-received.
