I'm currently working on an Authorware project that will ultimately be 
used as a presentation piece in front of an audience, much like an 
ordinary Powerpoint presentation. 

Our challenge is loading in lists of names for each presentation that are 
then displayed at various times during the presentation.  We can 
successfully do this with the use of .txt files and JumpOutRetun to 
Wordpad.exe in Windows for editing the lists between prestations.  
However, the producer wants to be able to hook or import this data from a 
pre-existing Microsoft Word file as well as print.  

Does anyone know if an Xtra or Function or whatever, that will allow 
Authoware to talk (hook into) Microsoft word.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron Williams
