RE: Parse MSWord Files...

One of the file types to save from Word is HTML. You can do this without
going to the web.

If you want to use MS Word objects on your server though, you need to have
Word installed there. I don't recall the particulars at the moment, but I
recall others pointing out using Office in this way (on a server) is not
recommended.

Re: Parse MSWord Files...

the Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Word Namespace does this "save as html"...
you need only to upload and the webpage will be avaiable...

i've tried uploading the Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Word. dll into the \bin
folder... but didn't work out...

i think i would need to register it in gacutil, or something like it...

what i need is to upload a .doc file, and the component

Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Word. dll is just a wrapper that VS will create to
allow the usage of a com component. If you don't have MS Office (at least
word) installed that dll would simply wrap nothing.

Re: Parse MSWord Files...

I see...

if i write a dll that does all the html encoding and upload it...
do you think it will work?

i get from MS a manual about the word binaries from 97 to 2007...

it's a 210 pages pdf that is anything but simple nor self-explanatory...
i think i'll have to read it... :S

If you write your own DLL it would work of course but I have to think that
this is not a trivial task. One thing to think of is that MS is (with other
companies) attempting to get a standard for documents (in XML format) so all
this work might be for nothing.

Have you considered using the new docx formats? They are simply zip files
with xml data. They are farily well documented. And there is support for the
file format in the System.IO.Packa ging namespace as of .NET 3.0. Just a
thought.

Well, it's likely that the Web server does not have Office installed.

Note that Office should be directly automated on a Web server:
