Re: Creating MS Word Documents
You can also save it as XML but you have to be careful to strip out illegal characters or Word will barf it back up. HTH G!

RE: Creating MS Word Documents
Hey, Paul, long time no talk. A guy I work with just demo'd the Apache POI project recently. He was doing it for Excel 2007 formatting but it handles pretty much all Office programs. I think there is a limited version of this built into CF8 (not sure if you are using that) but depending on what functionality you need, you might need the newest full version.

We have a project where we need to create MS Word documents on the fly via Coldfusion - has anyone had any experience with this. We need to adhere to strict output rules for this project and wondering if just creating HTML content will be enough. Has anyone used any tool for this before? Any suggestions would be most helpful.

Re: Creating MS Word Documents
I just got done doing something like this. What I did was take a RTF document which uses a markup like HTML except for word processors and opened the document in a text editor and inserted the variables wrapped with cfoutputs where I wanted them to show up. Then I saved it as a text file and stuck it into a cfsavecontent tags as an include cfsavecontent variable=asdcfinclude template=MyDoc.txt/cfsavecontent Then I forced the download using cfheader and cfcontent.
