Editing word documents in a web page

Question

I realise this question has been asked many times before but a lot of them are old now without an answer.

I have a need for users to be able to edit word documents from my web page.

Are there any editors, or components, that will allow me to do this?

A bit of background, the user will be able to upload a word document to my site and then view/edit it from there. There will be no requirement for the user to download the document again but ideally I'd like to keep the document as a word doc at my end.

Cheers

Answer 1

Well, you can do what you want with the OpenXML SDK and some XSLT (you can convert to/from docx or WordML to html) but it's not easy, and you'd have a great deal of difficulty retaining fidelity if you have much more than very simple documents.

A little pricey, but the .NET Server version of TX Text Control allows editing of .doc and .docx documents within a browser. (I have the standalone .NET Pro version.)

Here's a much cheaper one: Cute Editor, but I have never used it.
