Hi i'm very new to this, i been looking on the forms for ages and havn't found a solution, so i wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction?
I'm trying to read in all the text from a doc file using the open office writer and VB 6. i have managed to open the file but no idea how to get the text from it  .
can someone show me how it's done? |

You won't get anywhere guessing like this. You should learn API programming with Basic. The examples can easily be used in VB6+COM.
Read a good book or StarOffice 7 Software Basic Programmer's Guide. There is a link to it and other references at http://api.openoffice.org/TipsAndTricks/external.html

Unless you learn at leat a little about what is going on, nothing will be useful....
| Code: | | MsgBox ThisComponent.getText().getString() |
