generate word document?

[josepe]

Hi,

I want to do a dinamicly generation of a word doc in my ASP page.
I do it with the next code:
<% Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "inline; filename=OrderFax.doc" %>

But i have a problem with the margins of the word doc, by default the
margins are:
left:3.17 cm, right: 3.17cm.
(Are not the margins of normal.dot...?)

How can i modify these margins? In my ASP page? can i do it in my MS word
application?

Any idea?

Thanks a lot!

Not an answer but ... don't do it. MS Word is not designed to be used by web
applications. Let's say it pops up a dialog box - who is going to be sat at
the web server to click Yes/No?

Just to add to John's reply:

If you insist on using automation, then you will need to discover the VBA
commands for doing what you want. You can try the Word online help, record a
macro in Word, or ask in a Word newsgroup.

Ok Thanks a lot.
I read the reference that you send me, but now i use the
MIME: word type to show the html page and then word shows the page like
a .doc document. (No server-side creation)

I understood that Microsoft recomend this way to do word documents, but i
don't founded
nothing about margins settings in my HTML/WORD page.

Do you know something about this?

Thanks a lot.

Create a Word document with the correct margin settings and save it as HTML.
Look at the HTML to see where the settings are made and duplicate that HTML
in your generated document.
