MS Word Tomfoolery

[ccsimmons]

I need to create msword docs from Coldfusion with portions of the word docs "protected". Anyone have any idea if this is even possible. I can generate the word docs fine with cfcontent, but I have no idea how to "protect" portions of the docs. Anyone?

As an aside I have/had no choice in the decision to deliver these as a word docs.

Thanks!

How are you creating the Word documents (XML, Apache POI - HWPF, other)?

They are created using the cfcontent tag.

This does NOT create a Word file, it simply tells the browser to treat the
data it receves it as if is (instead of treating it like default
TEXT/HTML). It'll just be plain text unless you are specifically creating
a Word-doc-format file (be it native format, or Word-flavoured-XML).

And to use features of the Word doc format, you will *need* to create an
actual Word doc file. Best you check the Microsoft site for how do do this
programmatically.
