    I have a fairly ambitious client who would like to offload the management of
    intranet content to other individuals in the organization. For the project
    to be successful, the data management must be as painless as possible.
    Accordingly, the ideal interface for data input is Microsoft Word, as most
    users are extremely comfortable working with it.

    I would like to be able to create word templates/forms which are dynamically
    populated with data from an database, then downloaded to the client PC. Once
    the data is updated, I would like the user to upload their files back to the
    server, which will in turn update its database and maintain an audit-trail of
    all changes.

    Can this be done? I'm assuming that if I install Office on the server, it
    would be feasible using the office API, but I would love to be able to do
    this without office on the server..

    any hints / suggestions would be HUGELY appreciated!

    Thanks,

            Aaron
