I tried to use cfcontent to send cfchart image to Word 2003. It did not work.

Does any one have idea how to do that please?

The code I used is:

<cfquery name="DataTable" datasource="#Request.DSN#" >
  select *
  from   testchart 
</cfquery>

<cfchart format="jpg"
    xaxistitle="Department"
    yaxistitle="Number">

<cfchartseries type="line"
    query="DataTable"
    itemcolumn="Dept"
    valuecolumn="Number">

</cfchartseries>
</cfchart>

    Possible solutions:

    1. You might try creating a rich text format (.rtf) file in ColdFusion.  The .rtf format is understood by Word and other applications like OpenOffice.org.

    2. You could use a Java component to create a Word document.

    Aspose.Words for Java (commercial Java component)

    Apache POI (open source Java component)

    3. You could create an XML document which is compatible with Word.

    You will probably need to look into using the name attribute of CHART to get your chart image into a binary format what can be used programmatically.
