After rereading the original question I don't think the article I posted is necessarily the solution for you. The article I noted is used for generating dynamic Word Docs.
You seem to already have the doc and just need to display it. I don't know but using CFFILE you could write a temp doc file and pull it up using CFCONTENT.

One thing to beware... if you create your RTF template in Word, it will have a LOT of crap in it. I would say about four times as much as WordPad. Also, depending on your setup, Word may create a document summary automatically when you save the file. If this has any # symbols in it, it will bomb when ColdFusion tries to parse it. And you don't get any error messages, it will just fail. Very frustrating. But when it works, it's great.
