You dont have any issue in your code. It seems to me your problem is either your word version or your antivirus. Please consult your System admin.
But I have also checked that.
Didnt find any.
Moreover, PDF file is working fine.
Only Word file is making the issue.
public with sharing class WordAttachementGeneratorController{ public ID parentId {get;set;} public String WordName {get;set;} public saveWord() { PageReference pdf = Page.PdfGeneratorTemplate; // create the new attachment Attachment attach = new Attachment(); // the contents of the attachment from the pdf Blob body; try { // returns the output of the page as a PDF body = pdf.getContent(); } catch (VisualforceException e) { body = Blob.valueOf('Some Text'); } attach.Body = body; // add the user entered name attach.Name = WordName ; attach.IsPrivate = false; // attach the pdf to the account attach.ParentId =parentId ; insert attach; } }And if you want to redirect to user on anohter page. You can oncomplete event.
