they don't actually exist anymore since FAR pointers is something of the old 16 bits systems...

you don't have to care about that any further...

Rename the file so that the extension is .doc There is no big conversion involved.

Smart hint, but technically there is no conversion until you'll open it with Word and then save it in Word own (.doc) format.

It is just one line of code.

CFile::Rename(_T("E:\\myfile.txt"), _T("E:\\myfile.doc"));

Keep it in mind that you are just renaming a file and you actually haven't done the conversion. It is perfectly safe in this case since MS Word will handle it. It won't work the other way round.

You have to pass through COM automation see this article http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/misc/misc/microsoftofficeoutlook/article.php/c14519/[^]
looks promising.

Good luck.

BTW doing it with a script language (such as VBScript or JScript) is far easier.

Well, that's a matter of personal taste, anyway they've many of defects but in fact I think there is a lot of fun dealing with (for instance, script components ~~http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x5t0zfyf(VS.80).aspx[^]~~ http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/asxw6z3c%28VS.85%29.aspx[^] are, IMHO, amazing).

I've been living with office automation via COM with a lot of help from MFC. If the OP had asked how to extract text content fro a .doc file, then I might have guided the OP to use COM. But then, somehow I don't like VBS and JS.

That isn't any script component. You seem to have mistakenly pasted a different link. Smile | :)

Can you use Word Automation like:

COleVariant     vtOptional((long) DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR), 
                vtDoc((short) 0);
 
if (app.CreateDispatch("Word.Application") == TRUE)
{
    docs = app.GetDocuments();
 
    CString strFileName = "myfile.txt";
 
    doc = docs.Open(COleVariant(strFileName), 
                    vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, 
                    vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, 
                    vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, 
                    vtOptional, vtOptional);
 
    strFileName.Replace(".txt", ".doc");
 
    doc.SaveAs(COleVariant(strFileName), vtDoc, 
               vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional,
               vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional,  
               vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional);
}

What kind of component, a COM one?
If you try to obtain an instance of the component then you also test if it is correctly registered.

The repository of COM component registration information is called registry. The regedit is just a tool to access manually the registry content.

My WinXP is having problem to paste code snippets onto CP. Would it be ok that I tell you the names of the APIs, and you read the MSDN for the information about the parameter usage?

Steps:
1. SetupDiGetClassDevEx to get a handle to Device Manager.
2. In a loop, use SetupDiEnumDeviceInfo and SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty to find the ethernet adaptor.
3. If found, use SetupDiSetClassInstallParams and SetupDiCallClassInstaller to disable / enable the ethernet adaptor.
4. SetupDiDestroyDeviceInfoList to free the handle.
