Not possible that I know of. Coldfusion and Word is a difficult combination. They don't play nice.

Hey Jen,

This works great. One question, is it possible to have these open directly in Word, rather than writing the files? Since I am working in a Corporate environment the servers are pretty well locked down and I am not able to dynamically create new files on the server. Ideally, I would like my code to loop through and open a document in Word for each record in my loop. Thanks in advance for any help.

ColdFusion and Word is kind of kludge all by itself. So, no, I don't know how to combine the docs or use the page numbering. Wish I could help.

Hi Jen,

I have been playing with your Word/CF code and have it working locally…thanks!

Curious how you would combine 2 multi-page documents into 1. Also do you know if it would handle the page numbering?
