Access to Word programming

[rdmacaulay via OfficeKB.com]

Hello everyone. I'm hoping to get some help with Word programming. I have
some fairly extensive experience with Access programming but am new to Word.
I have an embedded Word doc in an unbound object frame on an Access form. I
would like to use it as a program event log of sorts. Normally I just use a
text box and save the contents if necessary to a text file but I'd like to
have something a little more robust so that I can highlight certain important
items/events with formatting (Bold,Underline,Fonts,Color, etc.) to display
back to the user. In addition I just want to get more Word programming
experience. Can someone get me started in the right direction with a
programming example and/or perhaps what documentation/books I should be
reading.
Thanks to all.
