Exporting HTML Table to MS Word?

[A P]

Is this possible? I am planning to export data from SQL that generates HTML
table. Instead of selecting the table and then copy then paste to word, I
need a script(JS or VB) that will automatically export or open the Query to
word.

If you give the new page an extension of .doc, then Word should open the
client's desktop and display the page for them.

its very complicated. Why is it like that? I notice on excel, you only need
to include this line?

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

Then you can convert html tables to excel.

Its complicated because that is a .net example - .net is complicated....
seems to be about all it is for me !

There is the equivalent for your "application/vnd.ms-excel" ...

application/msword

Try these:

http://www.utoronto.ca/ian/books/html4ed/appb/mimetype.html

both pretty useful.
