Am I the only one that uses HTML to display word files? I don't get why people are copy and pasting RTF's when you can just use standard html to display a word document.
Example: <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <h2 align="center">Daily Report</h2> <hr> <p>blah blah blah. </body> </html> Use cfcontent set to application/msword and it comes out as a word file, properly formatted. You can even display tables. ______________________ steve oliver atnet solutions, inc. http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carabetta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 7:47 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: MS Word Funky Quotes I don't think so without a serious hack, i.e. hard-coding all of the entity values for every possible non-standard character, and then doing a search and replace on them. The only two solutions I can think of are: a) Cut and paste into WordPad to remove 90% of the junk, then cut and paste from WordPad into the browser field. b) Get HTML Tidy ... it's free! Info: http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/ Source Code: http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ HTML Tidy is so darn useful, and has extensions that focus specifically on MS Word junk. Outside of that, we're stuck in a Microsoft World right now, so we just have to suck it up and do the best we can!
