Re: word without word on the server
Well I'll be. . . It's gone! My bookmark does not work any more. Well, all I can say is what I said. Simply create an RTF template of what you want, then use CF to populate the dynamic areas. Works great. Sorry about the bad link. I used CFCOMET a lot - just not in the past month or so.

Re: word without word on the server
Check out www.cfcomet.com for some great tutorials on making Word docs from RTF's. I do it all the time. You create a template in word, save it as an RTF.

Re: word without word on the server
I've done as Howie describes, but I would always "reverse engineer" it. I'd start with a Word Doc, "Save as" RTF, then analyze the heck out of the resulting file. Use the spec to help read and adapt. Now your server code writes the RTF (which is all ascii) code to a file, names it something.rtf and you're set. (I used to do this to produce word docs from HyperCard ... Guess that ages me, doesn't it ;-) Good luck!

RE: word without word on the server
I would think this would be the case only if you wanted to use Word objects. As for creating a Word Doc File, I've seen references for the binary format for it. You could always try it that way but I wouldn't recommend it. What if you were to simply create an HTML file, rename it as a .DOC file? I doubt that would give you the full functionality you are looking for though.

Re: word without word on the server
The format for RTF files is a published spec so you can theoretically write software that conforms to the spec (I've done it so I know it is very possible).

word without word on the server
Hi Folks, I don't think this is possible, but I wanted to double check. Is it possible to write a word document "on the fly" that includes images, or more precisely, headers and footers? I can write the text (body) parts of it without a problem, and even get all the stupid mso-styles to work appropriately. But, when it comes to embedding images, I'm at a loss.
