word docs in an asp.net page

[magister]

Hello,

I have a asp.net webpage which gets a word doc from the server and
loads it into an iframe on the client machine....

I want to allow the user to type into this word doc and edit it...and
then have a button which will take the copy they edited and upload it
to the server.

How can I do this without using VBSCript to call
CreateObject("Word.Application")????

Can I embed an <object cslid=""> tag or something?


Please, please, I cannot believe this is not possible,
Thanks,
M@gs

You're likely to run into an array of security obstacles.
Instead, I suggest you use this 3rd party product to make such functionality
more feasible:

Steve the Officewriter looks pretty good, do you know of any other ASP .NET
RTF editors? I would like to be able place an RTF, that was converted from a
PDF, into an ASP page and be able to edit it, then save it back to a server.

Thanks,
Tom
