Re: Generate MS Word Document from ColdFusion
I don't know if this has been brought up, but since you can generate an html table and save it with an .xls extension and open it in Excel, I decided to try to create an html file, save it with a .doc extension, and open it in Word, and it worked great.

RE: Generate MS Word Document from ColdFusion
Yeah, this works for most applications. It even works for powerpoint though I haven't figured out how to make separate slides. It's not too bad at doing a single slide though. The only oddity that I've had is if you're using style sheets some of the styles tend to screw with the output in Powerpoint.

RE: Generate MS Word Document from ColdFusion
I had not tried that yet. In the instance that I was doing it, I actually had to remove all CSS because there was some stuff blowing it up. I can't remember off hand what exactly was causing the issue but it ended up being easier to use font tags and such to adjust the looks. Also, the other thing to keep in mind is that if you're including images and such, when it pulls into the application, the image is still pulling from the webserver. It doesn't get downloaded and embedded into the file. This causes issues if you generate a document from an internal server and try to display it externally or if you're not online when you're looking at it. I haven't found a work around for that problem yet.

Re: Generate MS Word Document from ColdFusion
I had to do this recently, and on excellent advice from CF guru Kym Kovan, I decided to produce a RTF intstead, which is readable by MS Word but also more portable to other programs. Also it's a LOT easier to create with ColdFusion. But more important there are several tutorials in how to do it on the net. Here's one that's fairly straightforward. http://www.irt.org/articles/js154/index.htm Basically the principle involved goes a bit like this: 1. Type a sample document in word. 2. save it as RTF 3. open the saved RTF document and cut out the bits of formatting in the document and add them to the CFOUTPUT you are creating. 4. use CFCOntent to collect all the formatting and output elements together 5. use CFFILE to save the final result as your word-readable rtf file.
