Cetin,
The text of the variable in the own variable can change, and its faster to build a string from many variables and strings in VFP and replace the whole as one into Word.
And if I have to replace "sub-variables" instead of a bigger variable, it would be necessary to keep more than 200 Word models of documents stored to just replace all the possibel combinations of text in the final Word text.
I just dont know how to start a range beginning at "%" and ending at "%%" to format this range to Bold.
I know how to find a word, or character in the document but not a range the way a need.
I was reading Office Automation with VFP but didnt came to something that solves the problem.
