Chris,
I know of two ways to do this.
1. CFCONTENT and CFHEADER.
As per http://tech.irt.org/articles/js154/index.htm, you can create your MS
Word template and put CFML placeholders in it, save it as an RTF file, edit the
RTF file to get or accept data, and then serve that filled-in file to the user
via CFHEADER and CFCONTENT. The RTF code is ugly; Dave Watts has pointed out
that WordPerfect-generated RTF is cleaner.
2. CFOBJECT.
If the server has MS Word installed, you can use code like that at CF Comet <
http://www.cfcomet.com/cfcomet/word/ > to generate the doc on the server, and
then let the users download it via a hyperlink.
