When they mention OpenOffice they are usually talking about _converting_ office files, not generating them from scratch. AFAIK OpenOffice is not used at all to _generate_ spreadsheets. Only POI is used. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WS56EA2935-FBD2-4089-8402-FDDA2BAF55FB.html http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WS9D9ADC95-B37C-4aae-B5D1-84D72FF83BEB.html > could the openoffice be of some use here so i wouldnt need > the ms word license on the server?
