Like most of us, I have to update my resume now and then. Being a coder by nature, I prefer building it in HTML. However, those pesky IT Recruiters always "need" to have it in "Word format". Despite my sending over an .html file and telling the folks "this will open just fine in Word, just click the File menu and press Open, trust me", I still get a fair amount of folks writing back, asking for a .DOC file. So I'm forced to either a) maintain 2 separate versions of my resume (.html and .doc) or b) do the "save as .DOC" conversion myself, then deal with all the margins and other auto-magic that MS Office screws up when doing said conversion (note: now that I'm on OpenOffice, it's not quite as crazy, but still more re-work than I really care to deal with). So how about we add a 'format="WordDoc"' to the cfdocument tag? I can already auto-generate .pdf and FlashPaper, which is great. And PDFs are good enough for SOME of those IT Recruiter folks, but it would really save us a lot of re-work if we could auto-genereate a Word file as well. Or maybe (for the sake of slightly more cross-platform use) do a "format='RichTextFormat'"? I'll take either .DOC or .RTF files, which ever you guys can code up first. :) Thanks, Nolan Programming ColdFusion MX CF9 Wishlist Sun, 25 May 2008 18:21:00 -0700 http://www.southofshasta.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/5/25/CF9-Wishlist-Addition-CFDocument-typeWordDocRTF http://www.southofshasta.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/3/24/ColdFusion-9-Wish-List Nothing really "new" here. I've been posting my "CF9 WishList" thoughts on various other blogs, and decided I'd prefer to start compiling my list here on my own blog. The list as it stands currently...
