    Hi all

    I have a website which displays word documents containing various information sheets  and graphics regarding my company's products
    These word documents are all generated within Visual Studio using  databases and stored graphics and  are uploaded to the website.
    Hyperlinks to these documents are all generated within the web page when these are created.  

    However all the styling for the word document is  embodied in the document by the word document generator,

    It would be nice to put all the word document styling  in a template so that I can vary it without having to regenerate the documents as one does with webpages and style sheets

    Is there any solution based on getting the browser  to read and interpret office templates or am I stuck with the present situation.

    The only other option is to get the users to download the templates and apply them but that idea is for the birds

    Thank you both very much . I can see how to proceed and gain the flexibility I want through the specification of paragraph styles in a .dot document and invoking these styles when I generate the word document

    All I have to do then to vary the styles is to change the .dot

    Why did I not think of that
