Writing Word with CFContent

[stephenhardesty]

I can write a simple word document using cfcontent. However, I do not seem to be able to impose any formatting on it. Does anyone out there have any experience with this?

One technique is to create a template in word embed your vars #myvar# etc then save to RTF format.

Then open up the template and add it with your necessary CF logic and serve under cfcontent

Try creating the document in Word, formatting it how you want, then save it as
HTML. Open the HTML file in dreamweaver and inspect the formatting styles. You
should be able to implement the same style attributes in you document to
reproduce the formatting.

BTW, this also works well with Excel.

Okely dokely....
I have a question,

How do you go about assigning the relevant styles to the relevant text?
I assume I use the RANGE from the word object model, but i am having some real
difficulty in redifining the new rane to attribute the new formatting to.

I currently have
cfset objdocuments = objword.Documents>
<cfset newdoc = objdocuments.add()>
<cfset docrange = newdoc.range(0)>
<cfset docrange.font.bold = true>
<cfset docrange.text = "Hello this is a test">
<cfset docfilepath = expandpath("hellowayne.doc")>
<cfset newdoc.saveas(docfilepath)>
<cfset newdoc.close()>

this works great and Bolds the whole new text.
how do I now add further text? and apply a different formatting to the new
text?
