I have a client-side script that takes the output of a form and e-mails it.

I am a novice with asp and this was someone elses script that I have adapted to send a form of my own. The form sends information from up to 70 text fields that contain names, addresses and company information.

I would like to know if it is possible to have the data arranged in a pretty Word document or html file so that the recipient can print it out directly from the e-mail without having to copy and paste.

The ISP server that the form is stored on does not allow any kind of scripts to be run, hence the client-side stuff.

Thanks

couldn't the user just print the page from their browser in their email client? If not I will answer again!

Sorry, I should have explained it better I think. The form is an application to form a company. It is a copy of a paper version that our firm has used for years.

I would like people to be able to fill it in online and click on "Send".

The data they give is mostly names and addresses of directors, secretaries etc, and in testing, has successfully been sent via e-mail to the correct department. It has no formatting, and will then have to be pasted into a word document that replicates the original paper copy, with headers, dates, company logo's etc.

The people who receive this information are not computer literate, and have enough work to do anyway, so I wondered if it was possible to get the script to format the information so that they can just print out a ready-made, and filed in, form which can then be passed on to whoever registers this sort of stuff.

Thanks
