Word template - ASP.NET

Ruslan Shlain

Hello everyone.
I have a question that I tried to find an answer over the weekend but did
not succeeded.
I have a Word template with a couple of "tags" ( <<My Tag>>) that I need to
replace with data from the DB. Please point me in the right direction on how
to approach this. Code samples, links or articles. Anything would work.

Thank you very much in advance.

The easiest way to work with word is to create text files with html in them
and then give them a .doc extension. Word is quite clever at opening them
for you and parsing the html.

The correct way (should the above not work in your case) would be to work
with word directly on the server.
