Writing to an Open Document

[finitesimian]

By the way.........before I ask this question, I could have sworn there was a thread somewhere that already covered this, but I can not for the life of me find it. At any rate, here goes:

How do you write to a .txt or .doc file that is already open on the desktop? When I say "open", what I mean is that the .txt or .doc file is already "open" in a window on the desktop, and the script adds text to the open window.

Thanks in advance

If it's open in Word you can create a Word object. I honestly don't know if NotePad or WordPad have any optinos other than appActivate and sendKeys.
