Appreciate all of the input. As of now, it looks like James' XML solution seems to work the best (best being fastest and easiest to implement).
Saved the document as XML, wrapped it in a <cfsavecontent> with data from a textarea, and used the <cfsavecontent> variable in a <cffile action="write"> to create a new .doc. Seems to maintain the formatting nicely (including keeping the headers and footers as actual header and footer objects). nice :) Thanks, Charlie On 6/1/05, James Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > One more option, if using Office 2003, is to save the template as WORD > XML (instead of HTML) and add the relevant section as XML.
