Hi,
 I have a business requirement to generate letters in word document format. Please suggest me, Should I use bookmarks method for pouplating the letters or should I use xml schema definations for the same mease generating the letter by creating its own xsd file.
Which one is better and efficient. Pl suggest me.

Thanks,
Manish Sharma

I suspect an ActiveX control or component of some type is the best answer - see:
http://www.softplatz.com/kw/opening-word-document/ or do a Web search for something like "open Word document". You could create the file as XML using the Word doc schema (I think MS provide this in the SDK), but it would be hard work and error-prone I suspect. But it would probably be the "purest" way for small documents. You could build the doc using the XmlDocument object, access the fileds you need to change using XPath queries or by populating them as you create the document, then save it out to a String to send to the client or write to disk.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion,
But I am not suppose to create document in our own. I am creating .dot(template file) or xml schema file so that the appropriate data can be populated in that then finally I can get the output in .doc
