How should we approach this? I an assuming that running word on the server
is not a great idea because of threading issues.
Threading issues would be the least of your worries! Server performance
would very soon grind to a halt with only a relatively small amount of
concurrent users - write yourself a small WinForms app which instantiates
Word, and watch what that does to your PC's memory... Now multiply that by,
say, 25...
Also, you'd probably be in contravention of your Word licensing agreement
unless you could prove that you have as many Word licenses as users of your
site, which I'm assuming you don't.
As has already been suggested, WordML might be the way to go. Failing that,
have a look at this:
