When I do this -

<%Response.ContentType = &quot;application/vnd.ms-word&quot;%>
<html><head></head><body>Hi Mom!</body></html>


The results in Word 97 display the html code instead of just &quot;Hi Mom!&quot;.

This works fine with Office 2000 & Office XP (2002)

Anyone???? gettin' jiggy wid' it --

MS Word 2000 and above have basic HTML editing abilities inherent so they show basically what a browser shows. Word 97 doesn't do anything special with HTML, it treats it like any other word document. One important thing to remember is just because you are using ASP doesn't mean you are restricted to HTML. If you just want to print &quot;Hi Mom!&quot; regardless of the version of Word try this:
Code: 
<%Response.ContentType = &quot;application/vnd.ms-word&quot;%>
Hi Mom!
Simple and to the point. Wushutwist
