I personally haven't worked with Word automation that much. You might get some luck here, but ms newsgroups are probably a better place for this question. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/[^] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Alex Korchemniy

As I said in my reply (BTW, John, please hit "Submit" only once and please delete duplicate posts in the future), you must be careful using Word on a multi-threaded server application ASP.NET. It is not recommended. The caller is responsible for thread-safety in many cases. Some solutions will use pessimistic concurrency to ensure thread safety (letting only one caller run at a time and queuing the rest) and that will degrade performance becanse your multi-threaded application all of a sudden acts like a single-threaded process. Depending on your requirements, using XHTML with the right ProgID processor instruction or the Word 2003 XML Schema will allow you to use a 100% managed solution and still generate content that Word would have no problem with (and in the case of the Word 2003 XML schema - you can do everything Word can do generating a 100% compatible Word Document).

One idea - you can generate a WordprocessingML document, which is an XML-based representation of a Word document, available in Word 2003. There are a number of options available to you to generate XML, including creating an XmlDocument node by node (with the System.Xml library objects), using XSL transformation, or by literally outputting text with deference to XML syntax rules. All of these are possibilities within ASP.NET, but again you would need to be using Word 2003 to view the created document. If you do wish to pursue WordprocessingML, you may find the resources referenced in this CodeProject article[^] to be useful.
