Does it have to be Word? Or just nice looking? My personal preference is to
let Word be a really nice desktop app, and use other things for client /
server and web apps. If it were me, I would use Crystal or Appligent's
StampPDF.

In theory, I can imaging you could create Word docs using automation,
perhaps within VB dll, on the server then push them down to the client or
provide a link to the completed doc. But I have no experience, so that is
the limit of what I will say. Sorry.
