Hello all,

I am a complete novice and no next to nothing, I bought C++ 6.0 and want to
start off by creating a DOS program that runs in Windows and can create Word
files by setting parameters like how many letters, any numbers, punctuation,
special characters ETC

Do you think this is a suitable project for a first time user ???

Thanx again
