Well, first off all, what I'm taking about has nothing to do with COM object.
Word will format HTML very nicely, keep it simple with only <br>, <p>, <b>
tags.
All you need to do is put this on top of your page,
that is, before you send anyting to the client.
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-word");
Now the client knows that the data will be a word document. (built in HTML
but we don't care)
IE will open word if it is on the client pc, netscape will open a download
box of a word
document.
I beleive you could built a more sophiticated solution using COM, but
this as always work fine for me and my user's, especially since I hate
word so much :)
