Microsoft Office Word in a web browser

Question

I want to have a Microsoft office word inside a web browser so that i can get the control to format the text and specify proper indentation. I don't want a client side to save the document. It should be the same as http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/samples/htmleditor/htmleditor.aspx but i want an additonal component i.e RULER to it.

Is there a way i can get that kind of control or a MSword control without save button.

Please Help

Answer 1

You won't be able to get a "Word Control" into a webpage (not least since that requires every user of your site to have a copy of Word installed), but you can look into something like CKEditor, which is a WYSIWYG editor written in Javascript/HTML. Getting a ruler in there may be difficult though.

Answer 2

What are you trying to do? I'm not sure what your question is, but what you are referring to is a WYSIWYG editor. There are many versions and options for embedding one in your web page. You mention one already. Here's some more:

• TinyMCE
• Markdown
• YUI Editor
