Simon move my posting at the codecage from excel to word so i'm reposting at
MS so it appears where I wanted the posting.

I'm working om a Webpage project where I'm copying from a word document to a
webpage with a box similar to the message box I'm presently typing in. The
webpage doesn't allow modifying the innertext or innerHTML. I saved the word
document to HTM file format. I then open the html file as a text file and
perform a readall. Then simply move it to the outter html

IE.myobject.outterhtml = fs.readall

This destroys the box and just displays the tagged data. I was thinking of
just replacing the body protion of the outterhtml but I can't even find the
body tags and don't think this will work. Any suggestions on the best
approach. I know from looking at the proerties of the obx object is does
allow pasting but not sure the syntax to copy the data from the DOC into the
webpage object.
 
Joel, instead of saving as a webpage; usign the word object cant you read
from the word doc directly . Simon would have moved this to MSword group
considering this option.
 
How? I know how to copy from a wor document, but HOW do you paste into a IE
explorer object?
 
Tim still not working. I tried a lot of things. I using excel VBA and added
references for the Microsoft Internet Controls and Microsoft html object
library. I think the correct method should be HTMLpaste but not sure what
object to use.

I presently have the following
Set documentBody = IE.document.getelementbyid("compose_editorArea")
documentBody.document.body.pastehtml (HTMLText)
 
Without knowing what's in that iframe it's hard for me to suggest other
approaches.
If you want to send me the HTML off-line then I can take a look
