I've only been working with KiXtart for about a week now, so I'm greener then grass in the spring time. I don't have a lot of programming knowledge, but I'm trying to learn.
First Question:
Is there a KiXtart tutorial I can learn from?
Second Question:
I've been reading the help file trying to learn from it. It has an example of some code that will open a Excel spreesheet and put data in it. I tried it and it worked great.  So I wanted to experiment with opening a MS Word doc. Well I figured out how to get MS Word open, but when I tried to get a new doc to open, I just got errors.  I would also like to know how can I open a MS Word doc that I have saved on my hard drive. Anyone have some ideas? 
Here is my code. I've commented the lines that I tried and didn't work.
$oWD = CreateObject ("Word.application")
if @error = 0
$oWD.visible = 1; make Word visible to the user
;$b=Open ( 3 , "c:\kixs\LeaveRequest.doc" , 5); Open file in Word
;$rc=$oWD.Document1.new ; Open new document in Word
else
? @error + " / " @serror
endif
Thanks,
Little E

Actually both. I'd like to learn both ways. Thank you for the code you sent. I tried it and it worked great!! 
What if I want to open a new doc and manipulate it with KiX? Will I need to use COM to do that? If so, could you give me more info on COM? That is territory I've never traveled before.

Thank you for the info on the book. I have looked into it and I will see what I can do about getting it. It looks like it could help me a bunch.
Thank you both for your compliments on my profile. I just followed your website instructions. If this book about KiXtart is as user friendly as your instructions, I should be able to pick up on this script stuff without any problems.
Sorry for not putting my code between [CODE] tags. I will try to do better next time.
