I have done this in the past using RTF format. About 1/2 way into it I wish
I hadn't. It can be very tedious for large forms. You can try saving the
document in .xml format but Word's XML parser is VERY picky and I never got
it to work right. Hence the RTF approach.
Basically I saved the document as RTF with markers where the variables would
go and filled it in with CF variables and forced it to be downloaded as a
.doc file
<cfsavecontent variable="MyDoc">
<cfinclude template="../GoalsObjectivesPrint.txt">
</cfsavecontent>
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;
filename=grothplan.doc">
<cfcontent
type="application/unknown"><cfoutput>#Trim(MyDoc)#</cfoutput><cfsetting
showdebugoutput="false">
