>InMargin = oword.InchesToPoints(0.5)
>OWORD.activedocument.pagesetup.TopMargin = InMargin
>OWORD.activedocument.pagesetup.BottomMargin = InMargin
>OWORD.Selection.WholeStory

Forget all the Word stuff. Create your FRX using Report Writer. Include the VCX from FRX2Word in your project. To print MyReport.FRX through Word, do the following, as cut straight from the Help File:

---

oF2W = NEWOBJECT("frx2word", "msoexp") && Create instance of FRX2WORD
oF2W.SaveFolder = "C:\My Documents\"        && directory to create .DOC in
oF2W.DOC_FileName = "Wordout.doc"           && name of .DOC file to create
nSuccess = oF2W.ReportForm("MyReport")      && Process MyReport.FRX to create document

>Please excuse this most basic of questions, but after reading the documentation I'm still not sure what I need to do.
>
>I've used the "form designer" to add the control to the form but I don't know how to make it function.
>
>Any help would be appreciated.

>TIA,
