Hi,
I am new to using MS Office 2000 with Delphi and automation.
Here is a question: how to format an existing text file into a Word 2000 file with curtain font and page margins, and save it
with 'doc'
extension? Should I use WordDocument or WordApplication component?
Can somebody show me the sample of the code or point where I can
find it?
Thank you very much.

Barry

If you used a TWordApplication and a TWordDocument named
Word and Doc respectively, you could do this:

var
  Filename, Format: OleVariant;
..
  Filename := 'D:\Docs\Word\Some.txt';
  Doc.ConnectTo(
    Word.Documents.Open(
       Filename, EmptyParam, EmptyParam,
       EmptyParam, EmptyParam, EmptyParam,
       EmptyParam, EmptyParam, EmptyParam,
       EmptyParam, EmptyParam, EmptyParam));
  Doc.Content.Font.Name := 'Gill Sans';
  Doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin := 80;

  Filename := ChangeFileExt(Filename, '.doc');
  Format := wdFormatDocument;
  Doc.SaveAs(Filename, Format);
