Or VBScript.

I have a webpage. It has values on it.

I want to open a Word Document and populate fields on the document
based upon values on the webpage.

I do not want to use a database, etc.

I just want to take the value of textbox1 and place it in the word
document at a specifict place. The best I can tell this is a merge,
just not with a database.

Am I wrong to think of it as a merge, or should I just figure out
where in the document to send text to? Thank you.

I know how to create the activexobject and start up word, just unsure
how to send the data. Thanks again.

Hi John,

You can insert the data into the .Range of a bookmark or store it as a
Document Variable and use a { DOCVARIABLE "varname" } field in the document.
