Hi, group.

I would like to have the user open a Microsoft word template (which is
pretty easy to do using the FileDialog) and then create a new Word document
merging the template data and some data coming from my Java application. I
heard this is possible using OLE in SWT. Has anyone does this before?

Thanx,
- Kalman

I did see this prior to writing my e-mails, but am still not sure how to
pass my input into the Word Document.

Hi Kalman,
in fact your questions are related with how to use MSWord exposed Objects.
SwtOles gives to you the possibility to use Automation no matter of
application.

For merging, you have to read VBAWD??.CHM file (install it from msoficce
if isn't already on your computer), then you'll understand how you can use
Word Automation(you have to work with MailMerge object).
There are also several (vba) samples you can get about office automation.

Using Com Objects with swtoles is quite clear explained in Eclipse help;
is no so easy as in VBA, but with some effort you get it.

Regards,
Tiberiu
