aspx, word question

[Mike]

Hi 2 all,

I have a question and hope that some of you might been able to give me a
hint or something.
I am bulding a web application where i need to provide the functionality to
start a word document and to fill on some places some data, like name adress
etc...
So people can select from a listbox a type of word document "Template"and
automaticly the word document is filled in with the right information and
ready to print.

Is there on the internet or a good book some kind of examples i can use, for
my problem or does any have a idea how to tackle this problem...

Thanx in advance,


Mike

Hi Mike,

Although you might try Microsoft Office automation
components, Microsoft themselves strongly recommends
against Office® automation on server-side
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;q257757#kb2).

Office automation is mainly for client side.

You might google third party Office automation components
for .NET server-side.

You are right, but to me it's clear that Mike wants client side
functionality.

What he needs is an ActiveX control capable of providing word-style
features. He will find quite a few of them on the web.
