Try making the layout of the page using Word, placing in the CF variables
#'s and all. Save it as RTF and open it in Notepad. Then just add in the
CFFILE code from below for each section between the CF variables and then
save the file in a directory on the server. Add some code to force a
download or open it in the browser window using CFContent. This is how we
do our invoices here.
