Create a word document from form fields

[bobojones]

Is there a way to create a word document when a submit button is pressed. I
have a form that is filled out and the data sent to a database but I would
alos like the data to be added to a work template and sent to someone by
email. Has this been done and if so are there any examples.

Thanks

There are several options:
1. Automate Word - people successfully do it but it is not recommended:

2. Use the appropriate mime type to cause the browser to open the html you
generate in Word (discussed in that kb article).
3. Use a third-party tool such as ASPOSE (www.aspose.com)
