I've written code that generates reports in RTF before. It can be done, but it was pretty tedious. (OTOH, I wasn't able to find a decent spec for RTF and had to reverse-engineer the relevant bits by looking at Word-generated RTF.) One major advantage, though, of doing it yourself: Less bloat. My final RTF output was well under a third the size of what Word generated for an identical document. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius
