I have a report which works fine as HTML output.

As soon as I add in the following CFCONTENT tag, the report somehow looses all the 
variables from the form previous to it which passes information into it.

Here's the tag I'm using:
<cfcontent type="application/msword">

Now, If I change the tag to:
<cfcontent type="application/rtf">

It works fine and I can download the generated report, name it as a doc file, and then 
open it up in Word.

What's the problem here?  First of all, I'd really like my browser to launch Word 
(we're all using MSIE 5.0) and secondly, if I'm forced to download the file instead, 
I'd like to pass a doc name through to the download prompt of the browser.  (It 
currently names it as the name of the CFML template by default.)

I've tried this trick:
http://servername/cfdocs/index.cfm/xyz.doc?fuseaction=showWordDoc

But it doesn't work on my server.  Gives me a 405 error.

What am I doing wrong?
