Hi Suthish,I have a similar requirement provided that my word document/template contains content controls(mainly textboxes) which i want to convert to html file reflecting those textboxes and I strictly should not make use of Interop. Please suggest me some free dll if u have any idea.

The reasons can be many, like did you copied all references properly to server, did the required office version installed on server, try reinstalling again, did the application folder have required permissions. Check the sever version and the version showing in config file matches etc...

You can convert word document to any other formats even to ones you have mentioned by using Aspose.Words for .NET : http://www.aspose.com/.net/word-component.aspx

Try Saaspose Word Converter (http://saaspose.com/api/words) it can convert your word documents to many other formats and also allows you to create document from scratch.

Can we run this application without installing MS word on machine ?

Thanks for that. I already used it.But the Client side dont have any ms office suite installed. So i tried with "MS Office" viewer. I think its a freeware and just installed in client machine will help them to view/Print the document with one Constraint that it has to installed on all machine in the Client Side. Like that is there any other option that can be installed in Server and shared with the Client Machine that connect to that Server. Thanks,

Hi, I have a large number (2000+) of word files from my Mac (MS Word 2004 for Mac) that I have transferred to my XP machine. I wish to open them in a c# 2010 express application that I am developingg. I have Office 2010 installed on that machine also. I have used your suggestions to open the files. If I open them first in Word 2010, then my application will open them fine. If I attempt to open them direct (after changing the extension to .doc), I get an InteropServices.COMException. Any ideas? Thanks, Peter
