Hi sungy,

I am not at all surprised that the code you have tried does not work.
I suggest you take a look at the Win32::OLE module.
Using Super Search (try searching for the following string: Win32::OLE word) you will be able to find many examples of using Win32::OLE to automate Microsoft word. If you have not already done so please read the Perlmonks FAQ and How do I post a question effectively?.

Hope this helps.

Martin
