Convert web page to Word

[cyberprof]

I have a web page which produces a report. The report is just text and a table.

Is there any easy-ish way off adding a way of converting the report/web page into a Microsoft Word document.

Cheers

I found one that I use for excel export, I tried it for word for giggles and it works.

Make a link to an identical page how you want the information formatted.

(a href="default.asp?currentpage=inventory+control&page=inventory.vendordoc")EXPORT TO Word</a>

Then at the top of the next page before any other code above the table, put this;

<%
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word"

%>

This sort of works. However, when you click the 'Export to Word' link, the save as dialog box asks for the file to be saved as an .asp file. If I manually save as a .doc file it works ok.

I am wanting to make this idiot proof for others to use. Is it possible for the save as dialog box default to .doc

'Tells the browser to open word
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word"
' Adds a header to give the document a name
response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "inline; filename=whateveryouwant.doc"

that should be a little easier

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
