Tom, Thanks for the clarification.
It finally worked. I had to reinstall CF which took a bit of time so the late reply.

Is doing that or something similar to that possible? Tom wrote Sure. But I suspect you'd pretty much have to code it from scratch, deciding exactly how much of Word's functionality you wanted to implement. Can't the cftext area tags of CF be of some help http://coldfusion-example.blogspot.com/2009/06/cftextarea-tag-how-to-use-rich-text.html. Something like Table 1 (assuming multiple documents):rowid, document_name, document_text (text), datetime, owner, recipients, etc Table 2 Modifications: rowid, document_row_id, datetime, find_text, replace_text, comment_after, comment_before, etc... Form1 - Add document - Create the document and load the contents to Table 1 and Table 2 Form 2 - Edit Document - Load the existing document from table 1 into the document_text area of the form so they can copy and paste from it but as read only. Create fields for find text, replace with text, add comments [after/before options?]. Write these values to table 2. Using Coldfusion rereplace function you can find/replace the text from table 1 for display/email. Merely append the comment text to the replace text with any formatting options you need. It is not exactly like Review and Track of MS-Word, but something along those lines. Can someone please advise?

I'm afraid I have no way of knowing the problem. If the files are in the correct place, the "Custom Extensions" menu choice should be available at the bottom of the left-hand menu in CF Admin. Clicking it will reveal the SpoolMail link. In extensions section in the Coldfusion administrator, all I see is Java Applets, CFX Tags, Custom Tag Paths, CORBA Connectors > Yep. But that's the wrong place. The "Custom Extensions" choice is separate from "Extensions." It's probably the last choice in the left-hand menu. If you're certain that all files are correct, and in the correct place, I guess you could try restarting the CF service. The SpoolMail docs don't mention it, and I can't imagine why it should be necessary, but you could try it. I've installed SpoolMail on several machines. If it's set up correctly, it always works. >Next, Spoolmail is used for reading mail only meaning an email server is >required for testing and Spoolmail will be helpful in reading it? >>Or, is no mail server required if using Spoolmail? > You don't need a mail server. The actual mail message is created and formatted properly by the CFMAIL functionality. If ColdFusion cannot connect to a mail server, it places the message in its "undelivered" folder. You can find it at {CFInstallDirectory}/Mail/Undelivr. SpoolMail just looks into this directory and displays what's there. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, simply email the list with unsubscribe in the subject line For more info, see http://www.affug.com Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40affug.com/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
