Well, the code is right straight off the CFCOMET site with the path to my
file substituted.

The following code will open an HTML file and convert it to a Word document.
You can use the "SaveAs()"
method of the "Documents" collection to convert the HTML file to various
other formats as well -- HTML
is only one of the options.
<CFSCRIPT>
// HTML file path
HTMLFilePath = "c:\www\ou\cgi-cf\adminsys\alumni\thecost.html";
// Destination path for new Word document
// We leave off the extension since we'll declare the file type later on
WordFilePath = "c:\www\ou\cgi-cf\adminsys\alumni\";
// Open Word in the background
objWord.Visible = false;
// Disable alerts such as: 'Save this document?'
objWord.DisplayAlerts = false;
// Get the 'Documents' collection
objDoc = objWord.Documents;
// Open the HTML document
newDoc = objDoc.open(HTMLFilePath);
/* Save it as a new Word document -- the extension will automatically
be appended based on the file type we choose.
Some of the file types to convert to:
1 = .dot
2 = .txt
6 = .rtf
9 = .asc
10 = .ans
11 = .doc
*/
newDoc.SaveAs(WordFilePath,Val(6));
// The next line would convert it to RTF instead
// newDoc.SaveAs(WordFilePath,Val(6));
// Close the document
newDoc.Close();
// Quit Word
objWord.Quit();
</CFSCRIPT>
