Using RTF really works best if you are just replacing simple text strings like names address and so on. Keep in mind that you would be inserting straight text, not html. MS Word may try to display the html properly, but I wouldn't bet on it. If you need the formatting like you say then you really need to understand the rtf syntax, and frankly, that stuff scares me. It's horrible to read through and try to recreate using CF. I actually created tables and rows in CF to insert into a RTF doc once, but what a royal pain that was. I now either rely on printed output either using a nice CSS layout or use cfreport.
You best bet is to create a RTF document and simply play with it. T >What about formatting?
