asp_web_howto thread: output to word document
Message #1 by "Lee Nohara" <lee@h...> on Tue, 28 Aug 2001 22:18:43

Is it possible to use input taken from an asp page and create a word
document on the client side for printing? If so, how would you go about
doing it? Thanks in advance.

You'd need to create the Word document on the server, and have the user
download the document. You can't just go around creating documents on client
machines (unless the machine is configured to let you do that) - and you
certainly can't do it with server-side ASP script.
Cheers

Word must be installed on the Server to create the
document and installed on the client to access the
document.

set doc = CreateObject("Word.Document") 'creates the Document
doc.application.visable = True/False ' Do you want to Show the Document
YES/NO
doc.printout ' Print it out
set doc = nothing ' Clean up your Room
Let me know if this is not what you are looking for.

Try This I think it will work
<%
Dim doc
Set doc = CreateObject("Word.Document")
doc.Application.Visible = True
doc.content.insertAfter "Print ME!"
doc.content.insertParagraphBefore
doc.PrintOut
Set doc = Nothing
%>

I was trying to do the same with excel and found this useful article on
the MSDN website. The problem I found with creating the web document on
the server and then downloading to the user is that you need to have word
installed and word is memory hungry. creating the documen this way is as
simple as screating a HTml document.

Hope this was what you were looking for
Good luck,
Kamruz

Thanks for that URL it was helpful. One more question. Is there a way to
specify the document template to be used when opening a new document or
does it always use the default normal? I'm not too familiar with all the
object methods and properties. Thanks again.
