Hi,
As Andrea says, Server-side office automation is "doable" but really
not recommended.
You might want to look at XpertDoc, a fast and reliable technology
designed specifically for server-side, unattended creation of genuine
MS-Word documents.
It is very easy to set up, requiring little or no programming and
configuration.
You can download a free evaluation copy from
www.xpertdoc.com
Hope this helps!
