Thanks,

Hi Cindy,
Again, which version of Word is involved, here?

Definetely 2003 (or newer) here, since this is on the server side and we
have control about the version.

Thanks,
Jan

Word 2003

Word 2003 offers an XML file format; the document is saved in Word's XML
vocabulary, WordProcessingML. This is documented in the Office section of
the MSDN site on microsoft.com.

XML files can be written server-side, without Word needing to be present.
As with any other XML file, they can be streamed. Currently, only Word 2003
can open Word XML files as Word documents. When Office 2007 is released,
the plan is to provide a converter that will let all versions of Office,
back at least through 2000, open and save to that format.
