I was going to suggest, until I saw the MX 6.1 comment, to just use Cfdocument output = RTF. RTF is a word-like format and I see a lot of people use that instead of .DOC. It retains most of the formatting from word... at least the basic stuff... and would be able to be open in all versions of Word.
You can probably write to RTF which I think is an open standard, just a little bit harder then doing the cfdocument thing... or use the POI stuff someone else suggested which has some word tie-ins.
