i want to know is there is a way to read a doc when ms word is not
instslled on the server.
 
To use Word automation you must have Word installed on the server. Using
automation of Office products from a web site is a very bad idea for many
reasons. Word is not designed to be automated from an interfaceless multi
threaded environment.

I've already answered this twice now in the C# forum, so here we go for the
third time...

Server-side automation of Office is not supported at all by Microsoft, and
is highly unlikely to work in a networked environment:

If you need to read a Word document server-side, then you need to use this:

Do not under any circumstances install Microsoft Office on a webserver.

Aspose is a fully managed .NET assembly - no installation required. Just
drop the .dll into your app's \bin folder and you're good to go.

Read the following two Microsoft articles:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q257757#kb2
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/288367

Then read them both again.

If, after reading them, you *still* believe that server-side Word automation
is an intelligent thing to do, then I would respectfully suggest that you
consider an alternative career...

What article are you talking about...?

Ah right...

In that article, Steve demonstrates how to use Aspose to allow .NET
solutions to interface with Microsoft Office apps - specifically, in this
case, Microsoft Word.

Aspose is a 3rd-party add-in for .NET - if you want to use it, you have to
buy it!

whatever can u give me a sample code.

Once you have purchased Aspose and copied the .dll into your \bin folder,
then the code samples in Steve's article will work...
