Save *.SPO (output) as Multiple *.doc

[Ben Cohen]

Dear SPSS Users:

Using the technique described below, I have successfully written an RTF
file to c:\temp from SPSS. Next, I would like to use the same SCRIPT
within a Macro to produce an output file for each of several program
sites. Thus, each time the Macro loops, I would like a *.doc file created
with a different *.doc name for each site.  How is this possible?

Thank you,

BC
