Creating Word Files Possible?

[JustAnotherIntelFanBoy]

If it possible to make a program that can interact with word?
For example: a minimilastic interface where I write data (date/age/gender) and then the program put it on a Word file automatically ( so i avoid putting "Age:" / "Gender:"/ "Date:" every time I have to register a person)
It won't be in that way but it was a clear example of what I have in mind.

A simple UI that have spaces to be filled with info and then it's transfered automatically to a word file with the category .

Any thoughts?
Thank you.

 

If you have a certain language please let me know to!

What is your end goal? 

 

I only ask because there are several ways that you can do this in Word without any programming, or you can use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) from within Office, or even go so far as to use the Office Interop libraries in your favourite programming language. You can even eschew Office altogether if you wish since the files (in 2007 and later) are just XML files wrapped in a Zip archive, so any language that can make use of Zlib and basic text manipulation can be used.

Well, I have to wirte a lot of Words that always repeat the same "categories" (Serial number/Date/Invoice) so i was thinking of using a program to avoid wirtting all the words and just putting the info and let it automatically generate the word with the gaps filled.
 

I just want to put the data, not the hole text.

Will be for persoanl use, and have a few categories nothing more.

Take a look at Mail Merge. It's a feature built into Word, and means you can create a basic template and then fill in the blanks using a simple spreadsheet from Excel. Don't let the name or examples fool you, you can use it form much more than just letters and labels.

In Word 2016, the features you want are all found on the "Mailings" tab of the Ribbon.

Thank you! I will check all this info.

Hope I can make it work!

 

I will update if possible!

This will work if the new account details are in a Excel or some other file else you'll still need to enter the details by hand. 

 

Could you not just make a template file that has documents laid out the way you want?
