Advise on editing Word documents from WPF application

[Tom G.]

I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. My
goals for an application that I am writing are as follows:

1). Able to view Microsoft Word documents from within application
2). Able to edit Word documents from within application
3). Keep the code purely managed.
4). Keep the document viewer / editor as light weight as possible.
5). Migrate doc to docx.
6). Not interfere with other applications running that use Microsoft
Word (such as Outlook).
7). The application will use the WPF technology.


I am redesigning a current application that I wrote that uses the DSO
Framer. Although the DSO Framer has given me some of the items above,
I am unable to accomplish goals number three, four, and six.

Does anyone have any advise? Any good resources that I may have
overlooked? I have been tackling this problem for a while and would
love to have some people to collaborate with.

Thanks.
Tom

The one piece of advice I can offer is that this end-user NG is not the best
place to get the assistance you need (although .docmanagement may seem like
a reasonable venue, unfortunately this is the Word NG assigned to General
Questions in the Web interface, so it gets mostly beginner issues). You
might try posting to one of the microsoft.public.word.vba hierarchy of NGs.
