Writing information in Word from a Workflow event script step

We are interested in writing information in a specific location of a Word document from a Workflow event script step.Even we know how to retrieve the information to copy from corresponding database, we have doubts about how to achieve the rest of the functionality.Any advice?

Alas do not think of this as a answer merely trying to share what I have seen in oscript.The transmittals module in livelink allows word custom properties to be made available to a word template stored in livelink as a form template.At run time a macro on the word document runs and fills stuff .When you debug you can see some crazy oscript code that is doing the magic.I beleive it is a drop in so I am not able to explain a whole lot about it.Have you considered using a static java file from oscript. Any version above 9.6 should allow you to call java methods from oscript.Search for a module posted by dear friend Rolf Poser that does this.And lastly why do you need this done with oscript/eventscript could you not devise something that can be done in a really microsoftish way like using .NET and the new webservices layer?

also I have seen people posting about ACTIVEX use from oscript.Search for that that should be the easiest probably although I beleive you have to code all that you want in that COM object.The closest I got was to create a file on the server.
