Yes, I have done some interesting thing with that so far. In reality, it is not a mail merge because that would apply to have Word on the server and calling the proper Word function. What we do is an XSL transformation, which allows us to define the entire Word document as we wish, apply all kind of VB.NET processes and generate a native Word document.

In that first request, this was to use an existing XML Word enveloppe, including the logo on the upper right and the address centered bold in Arial 16. The VB.NET process generate several enveloppes from the Web page. The only think needed is a click on Open, when the XML file is sent to the browser, and Word appears with the enveloppes ready to be printed.

The next request is a little bit complicated. It will involve using an existing Word XML file coming in from the user in various designs. Basically, the user will create several Word file, which are various reports, analysis, etc., add some fields in them based on a data dictionary we will send them and save the files as XML. Then, once uploaded to the server, we will generate the final version of each Word XML file with the data coming in from the database, where we will replace the field we will find from the data dictionary and save that on the server.
