Hey there...


    i've developed an asp.net app where you upload a .DOC file and the 
application converts it into .html.

    In my development environment everything worked fine, but when i 
uploaded, i discovered that my hosting doens't allow me to use 
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word Namespace..

    - is there any file that I can upload to use it?
    - if i create an .dll file with the used code for converting, and 
upload, will it work?
    - is there another way to parse word files into html?

tks in advance,
christiano

One of the file types to save from Word is HTML.  You can do this without 
going to the web. 

If you want to use MS Word objects on your server though, you need to have 
Word installed there.  I don't recall the particulars at the moment, but I 
recall others pointing out using Office in this way (on a server) is not 
recommended.

the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word Namespace does this "save as html"...
you need only to upload and the webpage will be avaiable...

i've tried uploading the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll into the \bin 
folder... but didn't work out...

i think i would need to register it in gacutil, or something like it...


what i need is to upload a .doc file, and the component

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll  is just a wrapper that VS will create to 
allow the usage of a com component.  If you don't have MS Office (at least 
word) installed that dll would simply wrap nothing.

LS

I see...

if i write a dll that does all the html encoding and upload it...
do you think it will work?

i get from MS a manual about the word binaries from 97 to 2007...

it's a 210 pages pdf that is anything but simple nor self-explanatory...
i think i'll have to read it... :S

If you write your own DLL it would work of course but I have to think that 
this is not a trivial task.  One thing to think of is that MS is (with other 
companies) attempting to get a standard for documents (in XML format) so all 
this work might be for nothing.

Have you considered using the new docx formats?  They are simply zip files
with xml data.  They are farily well documented.  And there is support for the
file format in the System.IO.Packaging namespace as of .NET 3.0.  Just a
thought.

Well, it's likely that the Web server does not have Office installed.

Note that Office should be directly automated on a Web server:

system copying-pasting irregular word files there...
