I know of no tool that will make this easier.

Subject: Rich Text Files (RTF) Creation and Manipulation
I have a need to manipulate RTF files with ColdFusion. While I have been
successful in working with RTF files in Word, and then saving out for
manipulation with CF, I need to be able to do some things that are a bit
more complicated.
Basically I need to create a multiple page document, in which there is a
page header, and then a table of detail rows followed by a report footer.
The document will run from 1 to N pages, and the number of detail rows will
be constant. I have been hacking at something all morning, and have reached
a dead-end on manipulating the table containing the detail rows.
The problem I see is that Word can be a bit verbose in its creation of the
RTF file, making it very difficult to determine the boundaries of "groups"
within the document.
Has anyone faced a similar situation? Any solutions? I am open to just
about anything including using Perl or Java, etc.
Dave
