Microsoft Word Documents from ASP.NET[^]

Look at the section regarding templates and bookmarks, this is exactly what you need.

In one of my project I had the same requirement. I created a base document with all the static content. The content that needed to be changed dynamically was written within << and >> tags. For example <<name>> would be replaced with actual name at runtime. For this I used word's find and replace function using C#. Just google "MS Word's find and replace functionality using C#". There are plenty of articles out there. One good example is this: http://www.wwco.com/~wls/blog/2010/07/03/find-and-replace-in-word-using-c-net/[^]
