Response.ContentType="application/msword"

[nazzaro]

Has anyone had experience using:

<% ResponseContentType=&quot;application/msword&quot; %>

to send msword content from asp pages?

I'm trying to figure out a way to &quot;send&quot; the proper document template (.dot file) so it gets attached to the document opened in Word by the client.

So far, it seems that the HREF for

<w:AttachedTemplate HRef=&quot;location of template goes here&quot;></w:AttachedTemplate>

(xml stuff as child to w:WordDocument) cannot be a web address.

(btw, I've been able to specify web addresses for other items like the header.htm file for headers, footnote separator, footnote continuation separators, etc. in the style section and also for images - .png and .gif - used in the document in the v: xml namespace)

Any thoughts?

First it would have to be:

Response.ContentType = ....

Then you are telling the browser that the content of the reply is the bytes of an msword document. Is that what you are sending?

You're right (subject has correct syntax, but I messed it up in the body.

Yes, the document is sent correctly and opens in MsWord, but does not reference the template specified in:

<w:AttachedTemplate HRef=&quot;location of template goes here&quot;></w:AttachedTemplate>

nazzaro,

<w:AttachedTemplate HRef=&quot;location of template goes here&quot;></w:AttachedTemplate>

I am total lost at this point. Do you have a reference to documentation that you used to devise the technique you are attempting?

Try this:

Save a Word 2000 document as html, then use Wordpad or whatever to view the html.

Word 2000 can save to and read from html, using xml to save/read pertinent info.
