If you create a word document, and save it as an rtf file, then open it
up in notepad, you'll see all the garbled junk like:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1\deff0\stshfdbch0\stshfloch0\stshfhich0\stshf
bi0\deflang1033\deflangfe1033{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fcharset0\fprq2{\*\pan
ose 02020603050405020304}Times New Roman;}
Using that, you could make a template file, save it as an rtf, then
paste it into your template, and then place your cfoutputs where you
need to put your data. Once that is done, just output it as a doc file
using cfcontent.
<cfcontent type="application/msword">
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1\ blah blah blah
<cfoutput>#myparagraph#</cfoutput>
{\fs20\insrsid6363204 \tab \tab \tab
}{\fs20\insrsid6363204\charrsid6363204
\par }}

Subject: Help - MS Word outputfrom CF?
After the users put in parameters to generate a "quote" and the customer
says
'yes', I need to generate a whole big document, including standard
paragraphs,
and other sections of text inserted based on various aspects of the
sale.
This is now all done by hand in MS Word. I can get all the parts (text
paragraphs),
but how do I then have CF spit out a nicely-formatted text document?
In general, what DO people do about printed reports???!?!?! I have so
far
only
put a printer-friendly web page out and the user prints it in his
browser.
This is supposed to be a nicely formatted printed document, an actual
legal
contract for the customer to sign. Anyone do this type of thing before?
Thanks!
