Generating WORD document

[mohadi]

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know how I can generate a Microsoft WORD file from
my ColdFusion application? I want to be able to set the font, size, margins,
etc. Are there special characters for paragraphs or line breaks? Any info on
this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Word would need to be installed on the hosting server, and you'd use the
cfobject tag to create an instance of the word application for use in
Coldfusion. As far as all the specifics, you'll just have to study the
object model of word to understand how to interact with it.

There's an easier way to acomplish this. You can use the cfcontent tag to
control how the output is rendered - what mime type. Here's an example that
uses the cfartgallery datasource that ships with the getting started samples

<cfcontent type="application/msword">
<cfquery name="getArtist" datasource="cfartgallery">
SELECT *
FROM Artists
</cfquery>
<cfdump var=#getArtist#>
