What is WordWriter?
WordWriter is a high performance .NET assembly that creates Microsoft Word documents on a Web server. A few simple lines of code generate editable presentation-quality documents that can be saved or viewed instantly by thousands of concurrent users.
The documents generated by WordWriter are in Microsoft Word format (.doc, .dot) or Office Open XML format (.docx, .docm, .dotx, .dotm) and preserve all of the familiar features associated with Word documents. WordWriter offers high-speed performance and, since Microsoft Word is not required on the Web server running WordWriter, your Web applications have licensing flexibility and ease of deployment.
Using WordWriter
You can generate a document from an existing Word file, a WordWriter template, or generate a Word file from code:
Using a Template | Maximum Speed
|
|---|---|
Using an Existing Document | Increased Flexibility |
Pure Coding | Completely Dynamic |

Office 2007 Support
Microsoft Office 2007 applications use a new XML-based file format instead of the binary file format used in previous versions. This release of OfficeWriter for Word supports the Office 2007 format for use with WordTemplate. (Use with WordApplication is not supported in this release.)
...
The OOXML standard is defined in Ecma-276 and ISO/DIS 29500.
