I don't think groff is relevant. If takes a textual description of a document, i.e. the document's text intermixed with commands describing what to do, and produces things like PDFs for printing. It doesn't produce MS Word format files. Take a look at Abiword. It's a word processor that can read and write MS Word files and it can be extended. Perhaps you can make that do what you want as your web server back-end. http://www.abisource.com/ Cheers, Ralph.
