          WordTemplate template = new WordTemplate();
          template.Open(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "file.doc");
          string name = txtName.Text;
          template.SetDataSource(name,"FirstName");
          template.Process();
          template.Save(Response,"file.doc",false);
          ...
        

          Dim template As New WordTemplate()
          template.Open(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath & "file.doc")
          Dim name As String = txtName.Text
          template.SetDataSource(name, "FirstName")
          template.Process()
          template.Save(Response, "file.doc", False)
