.net flame work allows to program word 2000 behavior?

[allen]

hi, i'm very new to this, hope i came to the correct place.

i'm running w2k atm, and i'm trying use word 2k to write
reports based on the results from another program call:
Extra!@ Enterprise from Attchmate.

due to the fact that most of the information can be done
by copy and paste, are there ways i can write some marcos
or using programming tools to generate a report using word
2000?

please direct me to any books and materials for this type
of matters, thank you for your help ^_^

Have a look at Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which is built into
Microsoft Word. It's a very advanced macro language. Here's a book that's
out of print, but Microsoft has published on MSDN:

Microsoft Office 2000/Visual Basic Programmer's Guide

There are other books on the topic available on Amazon.

Your app can talk to Word through OLE automation. In Solution Explorer,
right-click on References, select Add Reference, go to the COM tab, and find
the Word automation library. Then look at C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\1033\VBAWRD9.CHM for documentation on the Word object model.
