Well, you've come to the right place 
Firstly, you need 2 files.
1: A html page (index.html, say), that the user writes the address and everything in. You'll need to create a form using input boxes (google "html form" for more information.
See above under action it says "post.php"? That means that the html page will send the information in the form to the php page, for you to do things with.
2: That brings me to the second file, a php file. (I think php is the easiest way to do this, probably not the only solution.)
The php file needs to retrieve the information that's sent to it, and that's by using $_POST["address"]
You'll need to do something like this:
That'll display the address that the php file has been sent. When you've got the above two files working, try replaceing the 2nd file with the following code.
(This creates a word document called alex.doc, and should put the text "The address is $address" into it.)
You'll need to upload these both to a server with php and all the usual things installed. Have a play around - see how you go.

Yeah, like this:
then in the php file:
Or however you want. If you give me a rough format for your letter I'll help out with the template
Code: [ Select ]
<form name="form1" method="post" action="post.php">
Address: <input type="text" name="address" id="address">
<input type="text" name="housenumber" id="housenumber">

</form>
Address: <input type="text" name="address" id="address">
<input type="text" name="housenumber" id="housenumber">
<input type="text" name="state" id="state">
<input type="text" name="postcode" id="postcode">
</form>
- <form name="form1" method="post" action="post.php">

- <input type="text" name="housenumber" id="housenumber">
- <input type="text" name="state" id="state">
- <input type="text" name="postcode" id="postcode">
- </form>
then in the php file:
Code: [ Select ]
<?php
$address = $_POST["address"];
$number= $_POST["housenumber"];
$state = $_POST["state"];
$postcode = $_POST["postcode"];
echo $address;
echo "<br />";
echo $number;

echo $state;
echo "<br />";
echo $postcode;
?>
$address = $_POST["address"];
$number= $_POST["housenumber"];
$state = $_POST["state"];
$postcode = $_POST["postcode"];
echo $address;
echo "<br />";
echo $number;
echo "<br />";
echo $state;

echo $postcode;

your $fp is not defined...
By the way, add the [code]...[ /code] blocks to your codes before a moderator notices it
(Looking back, I forgot to define that variable in my example above... sorry about that)
Code: [ Select ]
$fp = fopen("HWPT2.doc", 'r+');
if($fp)
{
$filesize = filesize('HWPT2.doc');
$str = fread('HWPT2.doc', $filesize);
// and so on...
if($fp)
{
$filesize = filesize('HWPT2.doc');
$str = fread('HWPT2.doc', $filesize);
// and so on...
- $fp = fopen("HWPT2.doc", 'r+');
- if($fp)
- {
- $filesize = filesize('HWPT2.doc');
- $str = fread('HWPT2.doc', $filesize);
- // and so on...
