You can try using the HTML5/JavaScript Document Viewer features from LEADTOOLS that support loading different document formats (including DOC, DOCX, PDF, etc.) at client side with the ability to perform other operations over the document and resave it using the Document Converter service. You can find the online demo here:
https://demo.leadtools.com/JavaScript/DocumentViewer/index.html

For example, the following JavaScript code shows how you can load and view a Doc file using LEADTOOLS HTML5/JavaScript Document Viewer control:
var ur1 = "https://AddressOfYourWebSite.com/files/Input.doc";
lt.Documents.DocumentFactory.loadFromUri(ur1, null).done(function (document) {
_this.documentViewer.setDocument(document);
var MyImageViewer = _this.documentViewer.view.imageViewer;
}

Hi,

You can use Free Spire.Doc, it does not require MS Word to be installed on server.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/FreeSpire.Doc/
Below code for your reference:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
     //Load word document
     Document doc = new Document();
     doc.LoadFromFile("sample.docx");
     //Get the first section
     Section sec = doc.Sections[0];
     //Get the first paragraph
     Paragraph para = sec.Paragraphs[0];

     //Edit paragraph
     para.Text = "New Text";

     //Save
     doc.SaveToFile("result.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
