ASPX launch WORD

Is there any way for an ASPX page to start WORD, then wait for the user to
finish, then continue running the ASPX.

My situation is -
User selects a file to edit
System should launch word,
User edits and saves
When the user exits, the ASPX program goes on with the next step.

I found the SYSTEM.PROCESS which halts the ASPX until it exits, but WORD is
launched by user ASPNET and hangs.

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

ASPX will launch word on the server, where the user will not have
access to it. You need to launch word via javascript if you want it to
run on the client. But, the last time I checked, you couldn't do that
either.
