Embedding Word in an ASP.NET page.

Question

Hi everyone I looking for a way to embed Word onto an ASP.NET page. I want the user to be able to edit the Word doc directly from within my ASP.NET page. So my page would look something like the following... Also I'd like to be able to have a hook on the Save button so that when the user clicks on Save I would then be able to execute some code of my own. Thanks!

Hi thanks for the replies. Yes I've heard of TextControl. The problem with TextControl is that it strips out Word's form fields like check boxes and text form fields.

You may want to look at TextControl. I have not used it but it says it provides word-like functionality in the browser. http://www.textcontrol.com/en_US/products/dotnetserver/overview/article/browser/

This is not possible direct in ASP.NET. You need to use a third party component to provide this functionality in a Web application. SharePoint 2010 has a component that can provide this functionality but that's not ASP.NET.
