I run into a formatting problem while creating a Word file in ColdFusion as shown below.
The Print Layout of the created .doc file uses the margin set to the sum of the Word default margins and margins described in the <stlyle> tag.
I am looking for the way to be able to set any margins for the created Word file including the Top and the Bottom margin values that are less than the Word defaults.
While I can use the negative <style> margin values to set the Right and the Left margins to be less then 1 inch, the same approach does not work for the Top and the Bottom margins.
The Top and the Bottom margins do not get set to less than 1 inch (Word default) number regardless of the value of the margins set in the <stlyle> tag.
Please see the code I use below:
<cfsavecontent variable="WordFile">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<CFOUTPUT>
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0.5in 0.5in 0.5in 0.5in; <!--- margin: -0.5in -0.5in -0.5in -0.5in; --->
}
</style>
</CFOUTPUT>
</head>
<body>
<CFLOOP from="1" to="100" index="Idx">
Hello World!
</CFLOOP>
</body>
</html>
</cfsavecontent>
<CFFILE ACTION="Write" FILE="HelloWorld.doc" OUTPUT="#WordFile#">
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.
