To best program VFP to do OLE Automation of Word please refer to the following site:

http://www.microsoft.com/officedev/articles/OMG/default.htm

This is the Office97 Object Model Guide. It should remain fairly true for Office2000. I am not sure about OfficeXP.

The object model will show you not only the lay of the land for Office as an OLE component, but assist you in figuring out what to instance, call, when and where, and for what purpose.

Hope this helps!
