Just offer them a link to the next page. Put &format=word in as the query string if they choose the 'view word document' link or no query string if they choose the plain text view as html page. Then go for if ($_GET["format"]=='word') {

        header("Content-type: application/vnd-ms.word");

} Really, offering your customers what they want is what we're all about - you have to take some responsibility for implementing snippets of code like this ;-) Cheers - Neil At 10:39 11/05/2004 +0000, you wrote:

They may or may not want to save it in their harddisk.. but having the header at the beginning of my page will force them to save it in their harddisk. Some of the customers just want to view it on the web while others want to view it in Word and possibly edit it and then save it.. how can i achieve such flexibility for them? thank you!! regards, hwee
