    create new word document?

    Hi all,

    Firstly thanks for all the help I've received from you guys, I'm learning so much faster with your help.

    I've posted several messages concerning a program I am working on which uses a webform to create a document at the end.

    So far I am able to create the doc and copy to clipboard for pasting using the code:

    Code:
    document.all.txtaDocument.value += strDocument
document.all.txtaDocument.select()
txttoCopy = document.all.txtaDocument.createTextRange()
txttoCopy.execCommand("copy")
    I am also able to open a new IE window and populate with the doc:

    Code:
    var w = window.open();
w.document.write("<html><body style='font-family: courier new;'><pre>" + strDocument + "</pre></body></html>");
    What I would like to do is create a new word doc and populate it with the created document. I've tried with no success using activeX etc. The best I could do was to open an existing word doc, but could not populate it. I need it to open a new blank word window, as it is not practical to have a specified word file already there.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I don't think you can do this from the browser. I'm afraid you may have to do this server-side. And that means running on a windows-based server, no doubt.

    How far did you get using new ActiveXObject( )??? If it works, that would have to be the route you'd go.

      Thanks for the reply. I was afraid that I would have to go server side for this, which I could do, but was hoping not to, as the whole purpose of this project was that it would be primarily client side.

      I must admit I don't quite understand why it wouldn't work though. I'll keep playing with activeX and see what I can do.

        Show some of your ActiveX code, so we can at least see if you seem to be on right track.

        You *do* know that the object WILL be marked "unsafe for scripting", so your clients will have to have your site in their "most trusted" security list *and* still permit the scripting on each use?
