RE: html to word doc.
hi all, I have to convert some dynamic html generated reports to word document dynamically in the background and save it. How can I do that using Coldfusion. Any help is appreciated. Are you wanting the files to be directly opened by the visitor or simply created and saved on the server for later consumption? If they just need to be opened directly in the browser, you can use CFContent to generate the file.If you're needing them to be saved for later consumption my experience is that you need to connect to a COM object. For help with the later check out http://www.cfcomet.com/word/ for information. Hatton --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Re: html to word doc.
1) Open Word 2) Create a file in Word with whatever formatting you want 3) Click file-Save as HTML 4) Open that html file in homesite/studio 5) In Homesite/Studio, locate the data you manually added to the spreadsheet 6) Insert a CFML in place of the manually added data. Maybe use a cfquery/cfoutput 7) On the first line add cfcontent type=application/msword 8) Save the file again, this time with a .cfm extension instead of .doc 9) Run the .cfm file in your browser 10) If you did all of those steps it'll open up in word with the formatting you provided from cfml You can do this exact same thing with Excel too.
