Thanks again Tamar. Could you post a simple VFP code eg. if it is not asking too much, this will avoid a lot of reinventing the wheel work on my side.

Appreciating your help.

>>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.

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.
