Auto Documenter

I was wondering if sql server 2000 has an auto documenter utility that
can dump information about a database into a word, excel, or text
file. I would not need anything to complicated just table, fields,
types, sizes, and maybe indexes.

Currently I am just exporting my tables into access, and then using
the auto documenter in access to get at this information. This works
but the field types do not match exactly, and when the tables get
large this is no longer a valid solution.

Thanks,

if you like, you can have a look at a free prj of mine at my home page, wich
provides an HTML export documentation feature..

There are some tools available, and previous posts have advertised them.

I personally would reverse engineer into the Enterprise Architect Version of
Visio and run the reports to an rtf file.
