it will create an instance for each time Word is instantiated by the code
ApplicationClass WordApp =3D new ApplicationClass();

it could be avoided if one ApplicationClass instance is created and
stored as in the ASP .Net Application object. this instance could be
resued throughout the application.

just some ideas..

dunno about processor licences though..

I'm not very comfortable with installing Office on a production server.
Why isn't there a set of object libraries for server use ?
Does the sharepoint portal server have something for this ?
