Hi all

I have to develop an application for client where I have a html template
file and a word document files as input files and I need to generate a html
files based on thes two input files . Word document may contain
images,table,links,text etc.

I am here to ask the Gurus advise.

Which language should I use ? I am thinking to develop as desktop
application using vb6.
How I can read the word document ?
Is not this good to use tags <!--teag1--> in html template file ?
How I can read the word document and what is best to know which text goes
where in html template ?

Thanks in Advance.

I would recommend VBScript.
No compiling, no runtime, easily installed and maintained.

> How I can read the word document ?

Option Explicit
Const cDOC = "C:\your_document.doc"
Dim objMSW
Set objMSW = CreateObject("Word.Application.8")
Dim objDOC
Set objDOC = objMSW.Documents.Open(cDOC)
Dim strDOC
strDOC = objDOC.Content
objDOC.Close False
objMSW.Application.Quit True
Set objDOC = Nothing
Set objMSW = Nothing
MsgBox strDOC,vbInformation,WScript.ScriptName

I would use FSO to read the template file and save it as a variable.
It could contain a tag which would be replaced by the contents of each
document. Next, loop throught the folder containing the documents,
read each (as above), replace the tag with the contents and write out
an Web page (.htm) file.

You are aware that Word can save as HTML.

To the OP: use this technique at your own risk in server-side code. MS
advises against it:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;257757

Having said that, many people do successfully automate Office in server-side
code. This is just to make you aware of the risks.

Yes, with a lot of bloat and markup errors. I don't think so.
