jvanegmond Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I said it only to point out that your used method makes no sense because a .doc file is a special file that's not readable like normal text.You need Word to read a doc file, because Word knows how to read this special .doc file. Searching the wiki or forum, we find this: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30461. Good luck. github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
