How to create a word.doc programmatically?

[Rob Benz]

I want to collect user input via a web form, then let the user press a button
and have a word.doc generated on the fly, containing the info that the user
input into the web form. A few of the fields in the user form would also
collect title, date, and a few other data points that would appear in the new
..doc's headers/footers.

The word.doc could be a Word 2003 .doc or a .docx; makes no diff. except if
one format is easier to create.

Be careful with Web applications and Office.

Microsoft warns that server-side control of Office is not supported and is
discouraged. Without having more explicit information from you, it’s hard to
tell what you’re planning and how but read the following article for a start:
