I'm trying to create an onscreen keyboard for Microsoft word. At the moment, my onscreen keyboard can send any keystroke to microsoft word as long as the document is called "Document1". Is it possible to send a keystroke to any microsoft document of any title not just "Document1"? If so how?

You need to use the following code
V.Insert (Char(VK_TAB));
the above example inserts a tab.
Hope that the above helps
