is it possible to call a word macro from an asp page on a document 
residing on the server?
if so, is it also possible to send a parameter from the page to the 
macro?  thanks.

Put the macro in the normal.dot; make sure you have word installed on the 
server. You will have to download the component that allows you to call 
things on the webserver.. You can find it on www.4guysfromrolla.com. Once 
you have teh component, make sure that you allow the component to 
interact with the desktop on the server.

This will get you started; wish I could help more.

As for parameters, I am not sure about that.

Record a macro that runs a macro...this will give you the skeleton code to
use with the word object from your page.
