Thanks, this looks interesting. This would be ideal if all of the word document formatting was converted also, i.e. page breaks, header, footer, etc. I could then run m y mailmerge against the HTML page and print that off! Maybe wishful thinking!.
Would you be able to point me any resource that demonstrates how to do a word mail merge using ASP? Is it actually possible to execute an ASP page from Coldfusion? I would simply need to be able to pass a document template and datasource to word, do a mail merge and then save the result to a file that the user could download and print themselves as word documents, this would be ideal.
