2. Client uploads word or powerpoint document via a web page and cfftp
3. Server converts document to either html or pdf
4. Document is put online
Adobe has created a ASP app for this on the fly I first signed up several
months ago for $20 a year. Check out a couple of vendors

If they are using Word or Powerpoint 2000 all they have to do si save the
file as an HTML file.
The work is already done for them.
That seems simple enough.

Have you ever looked at the quality of the code that method generates?

Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox. Get the official book at
You can always run them through dreamweaver before commiting them to disk
(esp the word files).

Yes, I have, however that was not the question.
I use Dreamweaver after that point to clean it up with the Cleanup Front

Not if the whole thing has to be uploaded to a web server via http..
Doing a "Save as html" saves the images in a seperate directory, if your
users are techneanderthals like mine then asking them to zip the files up
and ftp them to the server isn't an option. Plus the converstion that Word
Dreamweaver has a cool function which cleans up Microsoft html and turns it
into something workable.
