Re: Microsoft Word and the iSeries

Ideally they want to be able to generate the document on the iSeries and 

place it in the IFS where Word can find it.  I also thought about generating 
an RTF file and including replacement codes such as %%ORDERNO%% which the 
programs could overwrite with the correct values, but on looking at an RTF 
file's structure it looked too prone to errors.

I might be inclined to save off the Word doc I want in RTF format, 
incorporating field markers in the doc.  Then use that as an "HTML" template 
for a CGIDEV2 program which would fill in the blanks and write the resulting 
doc to the IFS.  SHouldn't be that hard - maybe I'll give it a shot when I 
have 5.
