MsWord With Asp.Net on theserver

Y.A.

I want to start msWord on the server with an a givene file
(.doc), customize the file (update it) then display it on
the client machine -- all this on intranet using asp.net.
I know it's doable with some javascript using ActiveX --
is anyone aware for another way to do it

MSWord is not really a server side tool, and you can easily hang your server
by leaving too many instances open. That said, someone has kindly provided
an excellent tuorial on doing it....

http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/wordapplication.asp

A better approach might be to create RTF files or HTML files, which are just
text really, and pass them with a .DOC extension. Word is clever enough to
usually open them in the correct way and convert them for you at the client
side - of course you will need to test this.

<HEAD><TITLE>Testing Word from HTML</Title></HEAD>
<BODY OnLoad='f()'>
</BODY>

You may as well function using Ranges.

A better way to create WordML based documents serverside. You can create the
Word document using an XML based formatting, which is easy to manipulate
using the XML interfaces.

A small introduction is posted at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...s/default.aspx

Naturally you have to keep in focus which Word version you are supporting.
The 2k3 versions are obvious the more enhanced versions, but previous
versions do have a xml document definition available.

For this older version (Office2k) have a look at this download:

The message is: Do not start Word at the server!
