I don't believe he is wanting to automate word 2000, I think he wants to just read/write to a Word 2000 file.

Is this a question regarding the format of a Word 2000 file?

True enough, automating Word is one of the easiest ways to read/write a Word file, but he didn't say he has Word 2000 anywhere. He may not have Word 2000. Since he is writing a program, he may distribute the program to people who do not have Word 2000.

That is my concern..

So, if you/your userbase have Word 2000, the best way to go is written above by others. If you do not, it will get more complex. Very complex in fact.

Here is an explanation of the Word 97 file format:

It that link doesn't scare you, and you really want to pursue opening and reading/writing Word files with your own program, this link:
