thanks tom,

i find the articles are interesting, But they all are related to office automation. How to create and write in word and other files. The process is also too big.

I just want some simple process to read data. In the examples it takes to much time to instanciate the word and excel applicaton. Is there is no other way just to read from word. For excel i found one very good example but not for word. Can anybody help?

Thanks
