Hi,
I am trying to write a simple form application which performs formatting on pre-existing Word 2003 documents. I have been looking for specs on the DOC format but unfortunately microsoft does not seem to provide any (that I can find). I know for a fact that the .doc format isn't proprietary (except maybe for the DOCX format which 2007 uses) so I was wondering if anyone knew where I can find specification on how .doc files are structured/encrypted. I wish to perform simple formatting such as making text sections italic, bold, underlined, etc. Either a spec or perhaps a development library for operating on .doc files would help. Thanx!
