Is there anybody that has experience with this product?

I have been working with my faxing application that uses FaxMan Jr. Here is the problem I am having...

When FaxMan Jr. sends a fax from my application, it has to be a file in a special .fmf format. They have included a method within this object to convert simple .txt files to .fmf files. The problem is that my .txt files aren't really simple. I have some that need to be sent in landscape orientation but their method doesn't support landscape orientation.

The solution that they gave to me is to print to their printer driver, which will convert it to .fmf. The problem is that I need to automate this all from VFP. So basically I need to write line by line the text to a file, and tell that file to print to a certain printer.

I tried using the word.basic object, but I am having problems making line breaks, page breaks, and specifying the printer to print to.

Can somebody please give me some advice? I am not sure if the word.basic object is the best approach. Thank you!!!
