text to Word template doc?

[newguy]

The next thing I would like to do is build a .doc template and have the text be opened into that template, is it possible???

Thanks JuggaloBrotha, any ideas on the other question (my last post)?

Nope, because it doesn't make any sense:

".doc template and have the text be opened into that template" If the text is in the template, how can you open it into the template? You can't, it's already there.

Let me try again, how/can I save the text to a blank document template?
I can save the text to a regular .doc format, what I want is the text to be placed in a blank document template (like the body of the doc) that has a customized Header and footer. is that poss?

I believe you can do this with interop. Syntax might not be correct but it should get you pointed in the right direction.

		Dim wApp As New Word.Application
		Dim wDoc As Word.Document = wApp.Documents.Add("C:\PathtoTemplate\YourCustom.dot")

Edit: MSDN Article How to automate Word from Visual Basic .NET to create a new document
Go to the bottom section "Use a Template".

Ok, I have looking through the interop stuff, I need to import microsoft.office.interop.word namespace correct.
