Generate Microsoft Office Document?

Hi All,

I need my application to be able to generate a Microsoft Word document
(Using Visual Basic 2005). So a user clicks a button (create document) and
the Word document is created and populated with variable data.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks.

I would rather look for XML
Brian Jones (very good site) has examples for both Excel and Word.

Word's xml is harder that Excel's but the effort is really worth, Ole
Automation takes ages to do anything...
