I have a requirement to develop an asp.net web application that will open a word document from the server in the browser and the user will be editing the document. On save of the document it should be pushed/uploaded
to the server.
It will be great if anyone can throw few lights on how to achieve this.

for user to even view word file, he needs to have office installed on his machine....
you can then display the document in browser.... however, the user cannot edit and save it back to server
to do this, you will have to use either office web apps

or MS sharepoint

for just displaying documents in browser without needing user to have office installed, u can use google doc viewer or zoho doc viewer

hope this helps...
