LMAO...

I won't ask you to go to the help file, in fact, I'll give you the answers.

1. Run()

2. WinMenuSelectItem()

3. ControlSetText() / Maybe ControlSend()

4. ControlSetText()/ Maybe ControlSend()

5. ControlCommand()

6. WinMenuSelectItem()

Now if you don't know what these are... THEN LOOK AT THE HELP FILE.

you can do it using com as well

$word = objcreate("word.application"); to run word
$word.visible = 1; to show it
$word.documents.add; to make a new document
$word.selection.insertafter ("Whatever"); to type something
$word.documents.save; don't know what you exactly need but this safes

hope i could help you with this

[zeroZshadow]

man hes an AMATURE!! don't go hard in the beginning by trying COM XD

[Nuffilein805]

i think its easier to do the com-thing than to do

opt("wintitlematchmode", 2)
controlsend("Document", "", "_WwG1", "whatever")

because in com you can format the thing just as you want

$word.selection.font.size = 20

instead of

controlsend("Document", "", "_WwG1", "^9^9^9^9^9^9^9^9whatever^8^8^8^8^8^8^8^8")

or what do you think?

[zeroZshadow]

he JUST wants something simple, not setting the font size

just type "hi how are ya" and save it as xml...

[Nuffilein805]

as i said it depends on the user

for some of us com is easier than a workaround

[zeroZshadow]

Hi to all, i'm extremely new to this s/w.

but he's new

so use the basics XD

i aint helping much because i think u REALLY need to learn this basic stuff from the help file, not the forum

I was going to suggest you write the XML file directly; however, Word's XML is ugly:

(Watch out for word wrap and note that AutoIt has a 4096-character limit per line)

CODE

$fileName = @ScriptDir & "\exampleOutput.xml"

FileWriteLine($fileName, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>')

FileWriteLine($fileName, '<?mso-application progid="Word.Document"?>')

FileWriteLine($fileName, '<w:wordDocument xmlns:w="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w10="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:sl="http://schemas.microsoft.com/schemaLibrary/2003/core" xmlns:aml="http://schemas.microsoft.com/aml/2001/core" xmlns:wx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/auxHint" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882" w:macrosPresent="no" w:embeddedObjPresent="no" w:ocxPresent="no" xml:space="preserve"><o:DocumentProperties><o:Title>This is a test</o:Title><o:Author>CyberSlug</o:Author><o:LastAuthor>CyberSlug</o:LastAuthor><o:Revision>1</o:Revision><o:TotalTime>0</o:TotalTime><o:Created>2006-03-15T14:17:00Z</o:Created><o:LastSaved>2006-03-15T14:17:00Z</o:LastSaved><o:Pages>1</o:Pages><o:Words>6</o:Words><o:Characters>33</o:Characters><o:Company>AutoIt Forums</o:Company><o:Lines>1</o:Lines><o:Paragraphs>1</o:Paragraphs><o:CharactersWithSpaces>38</o:CharactersWithSpaces><o:Version>11.6568</o:Version></o:DocumentProperties><w:fonts><w:defaultFonts w:ascii="Times New Roman" w:fareast="Times New Roman" w:h-ansi="Times New Roman" w:cs="Times New Roman"/></w:fonts><w:styles><w:versionOfBuiltInStylenames w:val="4"/><w:latentStyles w:defLockedState="off" w:latentStyleCount="156"/><w:style w:type="paragraph" w:default="on" w:styleId="Normal"><w:name w:val="Normal"/><w:rPr><wx:font wx:val="Times New Roman"/><w:sz w:val="24"/><w:sz-cs w:val="24"/><w:lang w:val="EN-US" w:fareast="EN-US" w:bidi="AR-SA"/></w:rPr></w:style><w:style w:type="character" w:default="on" w:styleId="DefaultParagraphFont"><w:name w:val="Default Paragraph Font"/><w:semiHidden/></w:style><w:style w:type="table" w:default="on" w:styleId="TableNormal"><w:name w:val="Normal Table"/><wx:uiName wx:val="Table Normal"/><w:semiHidden/><w:rPr><wx:font wx:val="Times New Roman"/></w:rPr><w:tblPr><w:tblInd w:w="0" w:type="dxa"/><w:tblCellMar><w:top w:w="0" w:type="dxa"/><w:left w:w="108" w:type="dxa"/><w:bottom w:w="0" w:type="dxa"/><w:right w:w="108" w:type="dxa"/></w:tblCellMar></w:tblPr></w:style><w:style w:type="list" w:default="on" w:styleId="NoList"><w:name w:val="No List"/><w:semiHidden/></w:style></w:styles><w:docPr><w:view w:val="print"/><w:zoom w:percent="100"/><w:doNotEmbedSystemFonts/><w:attachedTemplate w:val=""/><w:defaultTabStop w:val="720"/><w:drawingGridHorizontalSpacing w:val="120"/><w:displayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery w:val="2"/><w:displayVerticalDrawingGridEvery w:val="2"/><w:punctuationKerning/><w:characterSpacingControl w:val="DontCompress"/><w:optimizeForBrowser/><w:validateAgainstSchema/><w:saveInvalidXML w:val="off"/><w:ignoreMixedContent w:val="off"/><w:alwaysShowPlaceholderText w:val="off"/><w:compat><w:breakWrappedTables/><w:snapToGridInCell/><w:wrapTextWithPunct/><w:useAsianBreakRules/><w:dontGrowAutofit/></w:compat></w:docPr><w:body><wx:sect><w:p><w:r><w:t>This is a test</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p/><w:p><w:r><w:t>Example text goes here</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:sectPr><w:pgSz w:w="12240" w:h="15840"/><w:pgMar w:top="1440" w:right="1440" w:bottom="1440" w:left="1440" w:header="720" w:footer="720" w:gutter="0"/><w:cols w:space="720"/><w:docGrid w:line-pitch="360"/></w:sectPr></wx:sect></w:body></w:wordDocument>')

here's the thing. you're not making any kind of an effort to do it yourself. if you don't care enough to atleast do the tutorials in the help file, or show some kind of effort at all, then noone is going to help you. you're not asking for much, but you've not DONE anything. in addition to the help file, there is a thread here that has a .pdf that one of the forum users has been working on. i'd point you that direction for your help.

***edit***

p.s. welcome to the best forum on the net. i genuinely hope you decide to put forth some effort to learn and you'll really enjoy autoit and this forum.
