Hi Teddy, This may not be any use to you, but usually when someone asks this question, the reply they receive is this: Do you NEED to produce a .doc file? Can you not acheive the same objective by producing a .rtf file? There are ethical and technical issues with this reply - why feed Microsoft, RTF is easier, etc., - but there's the added benefit of increased compatibility. While I've never done either, it does appear easier and better controlled to generate RTF files, and there are module aplenty on CPAN to help you do this, although to produce complex structured documents may involve you doing some reading of the RTF specs. Sorry I can't provide any more definite help or advice.
