Hi, everyone.

Yet one more question on top of the one's I've started.

CF9: can it EASILY work with .doc(x) files??  I need to grab all content from Word files (including meta info and whatnot), insert into a CF variable/object, make minor changes, and then resave it as a .doc(x) file.

How difficult would this be?

Thank you,

^_^

    A few years ago I had reason to look for ways to use cf to read text from powerpoint slides.  I found that Ben Nadel had written poi's for not just excel, but also word and powerpoint.  His site would be a good place to look.

    Thanks, Dan.  I have been to Ben's site, many times, didn't even think to look, there.

    Have a great weekend.

    Okay.. didn't find what I was looking for on Ben's site (all I could find was the POI for Excel), but I did find something on Raymond's site.  getAllTheTexts.  But I'm not sure this will do what I need it to do.  I'll give it a shot and report back.

    ^_^
