You can open word documents, add text, newline, pagebreaks, alter color, fonts, add pictures, tables and captions, etc. This project is not finished, but I don`t have much time anymore to work on it. I`m posting it here in case someone finds it useful and maybe also want to try to finish the project. The main job is done, but the functions needs to be tested properly, and some functionality is missing.
