can this be done with asp.net. I need to display either a word or excel document (simulating an ole object) on the web...

can anyone direct me to a resource?

I did not try for world but you can use the following to export via a web site to an Excel file:
Context.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";


private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
  ArrayList al = (ArrayList)Session["Report"];
  Session.Remove("Report");
  this.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
  this.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", (string)al[0]);
  Response.Write((string)al[1]);
}
