i have done some research about the use of openoffice in coldfusion although i cannot get my head around how it would be utilized. can you provide any direction?
for example, another scenario is opening an existing word document, and adding some content to it, the only way i have found to get around this is to install ms word on the server and use the following to create a word object: <cfobject action="CONNECT" class="Word.Application" name="objWord" type="COM" context="local" /> could the openoffice be of some use here so i wouldnt need the ms word license on the server? thanks > I believe that all the MS document types are be handled by the > OpenOffice document engine.
