The issue with this is that it's not a word doc. Word just happens to have the 
ability to understand html. This may not be an issue with Word, but I use this 
cheat with Excel which works great and is an easy way to get formatted tabular 
data in html or Excel. The problem is that with large files, Excel will take an 
extremely long time to open the spreadsheet.

I've also gone the RTF route for a Work Order system. It worked fine except for 
working with a complicated document is horrendous! Any change to the RTF 
template was a real pain. Trying to figure out where exactly to paste your CF 
tags and loops in tables and highly formatted RTF was tedious.

Now that I'm using CF7, there is not question that I'll use CFreport for all 
printed output.
