If I were doing this, to avoid trying to produce a binary file in a

a file using the new Office XML format. That might be easier, too.
I didn't think the new format opened in older versions of office. I
don't think we want to require our customers to have Office 2007. Does
OOo support the new format?
That format was introduced with Office 2003. OOo 2.x supports it.
Interesting; I'll check if requiring 2003/2.x or newer is ok. Now that
you mentioned it, I've used XML with Word before (i.e., created a
template file in Word with placeholder values, saved it as XML then just
done a search/replace to create the actual document), however, I thought
Office 2007 had a new open format though which wasn't the same as the
XML formats used by the previous versions. Granted, if the older XML
format works and the version requirements are ok, that might be the way
to go.
