MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / December 2006Create Dynamic Word Document in ASP.NET
Can someone point me in the direction of a method/solution for generating word documents on the fly? I have been programming my files in rtf, but the filesize gets tooo big when I start using images and tables. I really need to have word format. I've seen programs like aspose.words. How is that? Does anyone have any "free" suggestions? Word 2003 has a native XML format - so you can generate that outside of Word. Am curious - how is file size an issue?

Because when you add images and the such, the RTF file becomes MASSIVE, like over 12MB, and when I am dealing with that in string format in ASP.NET, its too much to handle.

That would be the equivalent of using the IncludePicture field with the \d switch. That should make the RTF file much compacter. The problem is you can't get the specs any more to build files in Word's binary file format. With the release of Office 2007 and the Open Office file formats (XML) MSFT has withdrawn the binary file format. (And it was never public, you had to apply for it and sign all kinds of stuff.)

Have your program serialize to the output stream or to a file stream. > Because when you add images and the such, the RTF file becomes MASSIVE, > like over 12MB, and when I am dealing with that in string format in [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >> > I've seen programs like aspose.words.
