More information would be helpful:
1) What platform is the web server on? Windows? Linux?
2) What version(s) of Office do these documents originate from?
3) Are these documents in the newer XML-based Office file formats?
4) By edit, do you mean interactively edit through a web browser or
scripted modifications.
5) Is the use of Office file formats strictly necessary, can you not
use alternatives like RTF, CSV or OpenOffice documents?
