Hi Cassie,
 
I wanted to generate a  Letter as Word Document (it is using for posting the letter to cust.) with MailMerge information. Currently we are having a Intranet (Browser based) system where we open a word document in browser but which doesn't work good for us becasue the customer photo's are out of proportion sometimes becasue of the scaning or size of the photo. I know that this can be sold by using a MailMerge technique in word. I have read an article on Macromedia that it can be done using COM objects but i don't know how to do it ...I also want the option to create an individual letter for the customer or bluk letter for the group of  customer by selecting a customer_ID.
 
Thank you
 
Samir

You have a couple of options.  You can use a program like www.sunacommunications.com to do your emails - the advantage this way is lots of tracking and reporting as well as full flexibility with the look and feel and full personalisation.
 
Or you can do a query based cfmail.
 
<cfquery name=Myquery">
    query to get customer info with fields like
    select email, firstname, lastname
</cfquery>
 
<cfmail from="me" query="MyQuery" to="#email#" subject="my subject">
Hi #firstname# #lastname#,
 
this is my letter
</cfmail>
 
Or, if you want the content of the letter to also be completely dynamic, you'll need to explicitly replace instances of "#firstname#" etc. with the merged value for each recipient.
 
Good luck,
Cassie
