RE: Question about CF / MS Word Integration
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Hello there. We're researching the feasibility of integrating our CF based CMS / CRM application with MS Word and I want to get a sense of how easy / hard this might be. An example of the kind of thing that we would want to achieve would be to allow a client to use a web editor (e.g. CKEditor) to create a letter (e.g. a thank you note for a donation) within our web based application and then export that to a word document while merging in the name and address info of a particular person so that the result would be an MS Word document that is personalized to a particular person and is ready for printing. Any suggestions on how to do this? I'm guessing that it would be easier to send it out to a PDF but the down side of that is that it would not be editable at that point. Thanks in advance!

Re: Question about CF / MS Word Integration
I'm not sure what you mean by integration with MS word, but making a word doc in CF is pretty simple. http://www.jensbits.com/2009/06/21/using-coldfusion-to-generate-a-word-document/ http://www.jensbits.com/2009/06/21/using-coldfusion-to-generate-a-word-document/ On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 4:44 PM, Nick Gleason n.glea...@citysoft.com wrote: Anyone?
