This is more a question for the cocoon-users list.
You might want to have a look at the Cocoon HSSFSerializer source code,=20=

which generates Excel files, IIUC what you're trying to do is similar.

It's not possible (unless doing weird things with SAX events) as Cocoon=20=

sitemap components communicate through SAX events, so your first=20
approach with a seralizer sounds better. I'm not sure about the results=20=

(performance + formatting) of going through an XML to RTF to DOC=20
conversion, though.

Hope this helps,
