HTML would be the format to use. I've been thinking about this a long time... if I could get the part of word that word uses to render and print HTML, then it would solve all the problems. Use CSS to format the page exactly as you like it, with font sizes, page breaks, and all it has to offer, and then you can use html image tags, then it's the perfect setup. The problem is that word is so complex and memory intensive that it needs to be broken down into just the essential components - the rendering engine and the print engine.
That and the fact that HTML is the format of the web, is already used by CF, is totally compatible with CF... it's the way to go. If I had any idea how to do write it myself I would. - Matt Small -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 5:46 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Distributing self-contained CFMX apps I can see the utility in it, but I'd still like to hear some suggestions as to how to resolve the formatting issue.
