Hi Daniel,
this was a interesting tip for me, too. I testet this and found a folder containing the imag
es in the word document, so downloading only the html-file won't work. You need to build a z
ip containing the htm and the corresponding image-folder.

Does anyone has a more 'perlish' way to replace some fields in a word-document? Maybe we can
 extend this thread to other document formats usable for this problem (pdf, ps)?
