I had not tried that yet. In the instance that I was doing it, I actually had to remove all CSS because there was some stuff blowing it up. I can't remember off hand what exactly was causing the issue but it ended up being easier to use font tags and such to adjust the looks. Also, the other thing to keep in mind is that if you're including images and such, when it pulls into the application, the image is still pulling from the webserver. It doesn't get downloaded and embedded into the file. This causes issues if you generate a document from an internal server and try to display it externally or if you're not online when you're looking at it. I haven't found a work around for that problem yet.

I would be curious to know if it recognizes those...which would make the method even more powerful. -- Jim Wright Wright Business Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-417-2257 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:239484 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
