WEB page and Formated Document

| Is there a way, that on a WEB page, once details are entered into a number
of text boxes, when you SUBMIT the page, it adds the text from these boxes
into a preformated word document or a document which is suitable for
printing. For example, enter some text inot boxes and then when you submit
the page it prints out the text but on page with other predefined text and
images tec.
Like whta you get when you do an on-line order and it shoes you a receipt
for printing.
Many thanks.
Steve.

If they do it, it obviously is ;)
You'll need server-side scripting in any case. Then you can go to the trouble of creating for example a .rtf file (a bit like .doc, but much simpler; I beleive there are compilation proggies available), a .pdf file (e.g. make your script generate a LaTeX
file, then use latex2pdf) or something similar. The simplest way, though, is simply to create an html that prints nicely and instruct the user to use the printing functionality of his browser.
