>Thanks Tamar. Another question how can I do placements in the template, say I have a table in a word document with 3 columns. I want to populate that table with 5 rows containing three fields from the current table? Next time I use this template I may have 10 rows 3 flds to populate.

You can grab a table in a document using the Tables collection:

oTable = oDocument.Tables[1]

Then, you can put data in and do formatting as needed. Probably the key method you'll need is Rows.Add. I like to set up tables initially with 1 or 2 rows (depending on whether a header row is needed) and format those as I want them. Then, when I use Rows.Add, the newly added row takes on the formatting of the row above it.
