Forms don't convert to word docs. At all.
You can create a .doc from forms using Webutil's Client_OLE2 I believe. But you have to code everything you want to appear in the doc.

Rainy Manchester is where I am, not what I am called.

Reports aren't compatable with .docs either and I know of no way of creating one from a report. You can create xls files and pdf files.
Why exactly are you trying to generate .docs?

Then I suggest you tell your manager that it's not really suitable to try and use .doc for this and suggest that she settles for pdf or xls like everybody else.

Well... (ha, here we go) we've created a system that makes a .txt file, and then call a self-built tool that takes that TXT file and slams it into a .doc template file, and updates the template, and then saves it. Its not directly possible, but there is a work-around.
