piece of text then I would suggest using fields linked to document
properties and then you can read/update those properties via DSOFile. This
is much faster and more stable than automating Word and doesn't require any
Office products installed on the server (does require DSOFile, which is free
download from MS).

> Hi,
> I have a client that would like to upload Word docs to a server

> I know how to do this using the Word COM object, but before I
> have the client install Word/Office on their server, I wanted to

> So, my questions are:
> 1. does a solution exist which does not require using the
> Word COM object?
> 2. is it sufficient to install Word to get the COM object, or is
> Office required?
