>>I am trying to write a VFP application in which I will be doing considerable creating of WORD DOCUMENTS. I can find help with basic concepts but nothing on more complicated structures. For example, the LIST structure is non-existent as far as I can tell. I have been searching everywhere and no-one seems to know anything. Is this just a forgotten area of documentation for VFP ?

>You can also open a doc in Word, then record a macro under the Tools menu. Do what you need to do to the doc [e.g., do a search and replace]. Stop recording, go back the Macros under Tools, and Edit the macro. You will have code you can copy and paste into a VFP PRG. You will have to modify the code to VFP syntax.
Well, the part about HAVE TO MODIFY THE CODE TO VFP syntax is the crux of my question. I know I can create a macro and use it as a guide. But getting it to the precise VFP code is the hard part. Without documentation it is pure guesswork.
