Hi,
We need to perform office automation (opening docx,doc,wrd,wpd files and saving them as .htm files) through Windows service or Web service but Microsoft does not support Microsoft Office automation in server side code.
Reference:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q257757#kb2[^]
We have understood that, “Word automation Services” feature of SharePoint server can be used to achieve this. But we are not in a position to acquire SharePoint server license.
Is there any other way to perform office automation through Windows Service or Web Service?
Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks,
Sivakumar
