Convert WYSIWYG text editor text to Word Doc

We have an application that allows users to create their resume using an online ActivEdit HTML editor. We would like to turn their results into a Word document. I've noticed that if I take a plain vanilla HTML file and just change the extension from .html to .doc, Word will indeed open the file just fine, but I don't know if that only works with my specific version of Word or will this work across the board for anyone running Word or other programs that open .doc files. Bottom line, what is the best way to create a Word doc from HTML that all users will be able to open up as a Word Doc?

    Whatever file you create will be more accessible as rich text than word.  I've never tried, but you might be able to do this with cfcontent.
