RE: Off topic: HTML to Word

[fusebox]

I use a custom tag called "PrintBlockWithBreaks.cfm" that does what you are looking for in page breaks. I use it to separate orders that come in from various websites in batches of over 100.   It uses the same code as the div style example, but it can be used as a tag with open and closing sections.   For example:   I get an order from a database and then at the end I add <cf_PrintBlockWithBreaks PrintMode=1> <br> </cf_PrintBlockWithBreaks> This basically sends a page break to the printer.   The printMode part is also cool because you can use this tag to NOT PRINT parts of a page, keeping things like navigation etc from being printed.   Marc     -----Original Message----- From: Russell Schutte [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 12:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Off topic: HTML to Word I’ve tried using the “Pagebreak-after” attribute in IE and it works well…  but I’m trying to create pricing proposals on the fly for my sales staff.  I don’t know how many lines the product description will take up.  Currently, my only idea is to use a mono-spaced font and actually count the characters that I output to each line and then the number of lines and then insert headers, footers, and pagebreaks at the appropriate locations.   Let me know of your success.   Thanks,   Russell   -----Original Message----- From: Steve Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 8:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Off topic: HTML to Word   That's something you can do with this technique I came across. Basically it works by saving a word document as HTML, then using that HTML template as your cfm file, plugging in various cfml code. I haven't tried the page break yet, i'll mess around with it today.
