Hi,

I have a requirement for one of my clients where we have to generate licenses in word (.doc) format by inserting values into pre-formatted word template files (.dot). We have used bookmarks in the templates, which will be replaced by data from the database based on the template selection. Now my question is - can we deploy this application on a web-server without having to install the MS-Word on the server? Almost all the sites i referred says we have to install MS-Word on the server in order to use the "Microsoft Word 12.0 Object Library", that will be used for Word Automation using asp.net. Can anyone please help me on this and suggest is there any word around, which works without MS-Word installation on server. I don,t want any paid third party component. I need to use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word functionality.

 Thanks,

Sanjith
