Hi All,

I am able to create a new word file with below code. Now, instead of writing all new code for data I want to insert the contents of an aspx page into it. Pls guide. i have searched the net but could not find any idea for this.

Thanks
Atul

VB

Dim wordApp As New Application()
        Dim filePath As Object = "H:\TestDocument.docx"
        Dim missing As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value

        Dim wordDoc As Document = wordApp.Documents.Add(missing, missing, missing, missing)

        wordDoc.Activate()
        wordDoc.Content.InsertBefore("This is Word document created in ASP.NET")
        wordDoc.Content.InsertParagraphAfter()
        wordDoc.SaveAs(filePath)
        wordApp.Application.Quit(missing, missing, missing)

Instead of using pysical drive path to save the word file, it would be good idea to save in the application path using Server.MapPath()

I agree to your suggestion and I have same thing for final code. but for now my focus was to automatically save the whole page at a pre-decided location

Instead of adding hard-coded text, you should be passing the variable data for the string and other similar HTML nodes. It would be a very much long process; in my opinion.

Absolutely right. for this reason itself I want to save the already created aspx page as a whole.

Thanks for the reply dear.
I was able to save the whole page with following code but facing two issues:

1. It asks for whether I want to open or save the page when I would like the page to automatically be saved.
2. The page is saved in landscape format when it should be saved in potrait A4 ready to print format.
Pls suggest.

Thanks again..
