I have just done exactly this on a project. I stored the template word 2003 xml document in a document library, and then programmatically changed bits of the document as required and let the user download the new document (however you could easily save the new document to a document library instead). This process was triggered by a custom action attached to a content type and the changes to the document were based on fields in a list item. It was quite an easy process and avoids the word API.

How about the word 2003 xml format? That should be easy to generate and does not require any office installation on the server.

Clark Sent: Tuesday, 24 March 2009 8:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Using Office 2007 and SharePoint to generate Word 2003 Documents Hi all, I am working with a client where we have a requirement to automatically generate some word documents in an office 2003 format. In doing a little research I am thinking about using Office 2007 to generate the documents and then programmatically save the documents in Word 2003 format to a WSS 3.0 document library for distribution to the clients users. Has anyone had any substantial experience in this area? What are the Pro's and Con's about this approach or is there a better approach that anyone has found?
