Steve,
You're confusing a ton of issues here.  First off, I think you are referring
to Visual C++ 6.0.  C++ doesn't have version numbers, and VC++ is not in
this group.
Secondly, what do you mean by "Word files".  Do you mean Microsoft Word
Files, which again are outside of this group and probably not a good first
time project.  Do you mean text files?

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
