I have done this in the past using RTF format. About 1/2 way into it I wish I hadn't. It can be very tedious for large forms. You can try saving the document in .xml format but Word's XML parser is VERY picky and I never got it to work right. Hence the RTF approach. Basically I saved the document as RTF with markers where the variables would go and filled it in with CF variables and forced it to be downloaded as a .doc file <cfsavecontent variable="MyDoc"> <cfinclude template="../GoalsObjectivesPrint.txt"> </cfsavecontent>    <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=grothplan.doc">             <cfcontent type="application/unknown"><cfoutput>#Trim(MyDoc)#</cfoutput><cfsetting showdebugoutput="false"> HTH, G!
