those dimensions should be applied as page
alignments(left,right,bottom,top) for word document, similarly spell

documents present in that folder should be updated as per the

Hi Kiran,

3 parts to this.

1. Controlling Word.
The following article describes with sample code how to control Word from
Excel. But much the same principle apply to controlling Word from VB6

2. Setting page margins
The page margins are properties of the document's PageSetup upbject. Note
that the margins are specified in points. Make sure you do the appropriate
conversions.

3. Batch processing
The following article shows one way of getting a list of all the files in a
folder and processing each file in turn. You will be able to replace the
find/replace code with your own page setup code.
