Hi James,

You could give enough priveleges to asp.net account though I don't recommend
this approach since it is not meant in this way (Word is an interactive
beast).
Rather, I strongly suggest you to take a look at WordML (XML format of
Word2003 documents).

ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or
Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not
impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity
impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically
IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.
