I know, it's quite easy to print the string grid to printer - just calculate colum widths and use printer's canvas. Any ideas how to use Word "canvas"?

What I do not know is how to print StringGrid onto Word's "canvas" using commands like rt := Rect( 0, 0, column_width, colum_height ); OffsetRect( rt, left_margin, yPos ); TextRect( rt, x, yPos, Cells[c,r] ); P.S. Currently I am using fixed fonts and constructing a string from cell values with appropriate number of spaces inserted, and then doing MsWord.Selection.TypeText( [string] +#13+#10 ); Rimvydas Chris Cheney wrote: Quote: I need to export a string grid to MS Word document.

Assuming that the stringgrid cell values are to appear in a Word table: The processing of a Word table is sloooooooooooooow, so it is best to avoid it until the last step. I assume that the stringgrid cells will never contain the tab character, so that it can be used unambiguously as a separator. Place a bookmark where the table is to appear. For each row in the stringgrid, construct a string consisting of the contents of the cells, separated by a tab character (#09). Use the Word TypeText and TypeParagraph methods to insert the string as a word paragraph. Extend the bookmark over the inserted material and then use the Word ConvertBookmarkToTable method. There are other ways, but that is the method, based on Deborah Pate's excellent pages on Automation (see [url]http://www.djpate.freeserve.co.uk/AutoWord.htm)[/url], that I've used successfully.

What I need is to have the same look in MS Word!
