Lunching MS Word from jsp

[Irene Loos]

Hello,
My user has a word template document that needs to be merged with some
data from database to produce final documents. User wants to be able
to send this document as a letter. Currently we are using jsps and
java to create HTML document, display it in the browser through
application, let the user print it from browser and sent it by mail. But
printing form browser depends on browser settings for page. I am wondering if there is a way to create and lunch word document instead of html page.

Thanks for your help.
