Creating MS Word documents in ASP

Nicky2k · August 11th, 2005, 05:23 AM

I have the following code which works and writes to a simple word temaplate. However, I want to:
1) use a specific template to acheive this, and
2) would like to ensure the content appears in a specific position

The solution to 1 will be good enough.

Thanks in advance.

<%
Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=quotes.doc"

dim quoteTable

quoteTable="<table cellpadding='1' cellspacing='0' wisth='100%'><tr><td colspan='5'><h3 style='padding-left:10px;'>Existing quotes</h3></td></tr>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<tr bgcolor='#ADCCE4'><td class='right_text'><strong>Date of quote</strong></td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'><strong>Quote</strong></td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'><strong>Item</strong></td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'><strong>Cost</strong></td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<tr><td class='right_text'>Date of quote</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>£1500.00</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>Item</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>£1500.00</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<tr><td class='right_text'>Date of quote</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>£1500.00</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>Item</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>£1500.00</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<tr><td class='right_text'>Date of quote</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>£1500.00</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>Item</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>£1500.00</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<tr><td class='right_text' colspan='4'> </td></tr>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<tr><td class='right_text'><strong>Totals</strong></td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>£4500.00</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'> </td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'>£4500.00</td>"
quoteTable=quoteTable & "<td class='right_text'> </td></tr>"

I just saved the template as a web page, then added my code to the xhtml page generated by word. Headers, footers and images are not included. Is there a .NET way round this?
