Hi All, I have a word document I open with the following code, what I'm trying to do is search the document for a particular piece of text "[FILE_NUMBER]" that can reside in either the header, footer or body of the document. doc = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application"); doc.Visible = false; doc.Documents.Open("C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\biz_e_asset_new\\styles\\report_templates\\service_request_template3.doc", null, true); var oDocument=doc.ActiveDocument; //At this point I'd like to search the header,footer,body doc.quit(0); Does anyone know how to retrieve these pieces of content. Any help greatly appreciated!!! Regards Hayden
