Also it's a LOT easier to create with ColdFusion. But more important there are several tutorials in how to do it on the net. Here's one that's fairly straightforward. http://www.irt.org/articles/js154/index.htm Basically the principle involved goes a bit like this: 1. Type a sample document in word. 2. save it as RTF 3. open the saved RTF document and cut out the bits of formatting in the document and add them to the CFOUTPUT you are creating. 4. use CFCOntent to collect all the formatting and output elements together 5. use CFFILE to save the final result as your word-readable rtf file. Hope this helps.
