I need to read from a MS Word document, write into it and format it from a C++ program. How can I do that? What technologies exist to complete such tasks?
This should be done in VS2010 using diffrent sorts of Microsoft technologies. I can’t use any additional proprietary libraries besides the standard ones.
The technology you want is probably COM (Component Object Model). The terminology that Microsoft use is, it seems, “Office Automation”, so you might find more information by searching for that.
I think, though, that you need to have Microsoft Office installed to use this.
