    Thank you for the reply,

    But I think I am not being able to make clear what I actually want.

    In simple terms I want to document the database into word file. I work in sql server 2000.

    I want to write a procedure or generate a script which I execute it and then a word file gets created with all the tables and its column explanation.

    Thanks,

    Harsha

    or maybe you wanted to just generate the lsit of tables/columns like this?:

    select objz.name as TableName,

    colz.name as ColumnName,

    colz.colid

    from sysobjects objz

    inner join syscolumns colz

    on objz.id = colz.id

    WHERE objz.xtype='U'

    ORDER BY objz.name,colz.colid
