Get object

[ncvdac]

How can I get a hold of all the text in a document and format that text?

Can I copy it to the clipboard and manipulate the formatting there, or do I need to create a data object and manipulate it there, or something else totally.

please provide sample code to get and access the text.

Thanks for your help,
Dan

People will create a document in word. I need to be able to select the whole document, Format it to be 53 chars wide and put in carriage returns after the first 9 lines, then after the next 19 lines, then after the next 12 lines. In lotus notes, I can get the contents of a field. SHould I have them paste their document data in a field so I can manipulate the value?
