Web Based Word Processor Help

[davin]

I am trying to build an AJAX web based word processor using ASP.NET 2.0
and C#, in Visual Studio 2005. however, I am having trouble on how to
start

I would like the the user to be able to open internet explorer and then
be able to create a new word document and edit from the web browser
without requiring word to be installed on the desktop. I would also
like to allow the user to be able to upload a word document and edit it
from this web based word processor.

I am having trouble figuring out how to go about this, which libraries
and functions I should use and where to look. Any useful info on which
libraries or functions I can use to open and edit word documents
without requiring the user to have word on their pc would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Davin

Have you considered that a MS Word document is a proprietary format ?

I'd also consider that you use either saving the file as an HTML or RTF
document, because a Word document is proprietary format.

There's no RichTextBox for ASP.NET, but there are equivalents, one of
which I know uses a editable frameset.
