Then the complexity of your solution just jumped a notch since there is a very big gap getting things in/out of Flex. Let just say that you could scaffold in a Word .doc in Flex what then? Youd have to have a web server running locally to read or write anything to disk. You might be able to signal a local download of some sorts perhaps the real issue here is practicality. Given the constraints that Im hearing I think that it is safe to say that the answer to your question is a solid no. If you had the liberty to mix in a few other technologies perhaps. AIR is a solid method to read/write files but again you still have to contend with the expanse of the .doc file format and again practicality comes into view. It would be much more valuable (as a solution goes) to use a format that Word can read and is friendly to Flex like rich text.

Rick Winscot a écrit : Hmm Microsoft can barely do that! Seriously though a native .doc file? Directly no. If you have a server with a product like Aspose Word (www.aspose.com) installed maybe. The straight forward scenario is to install components or libraries on the server (since Flex would have a difficult time loading/saving anything or interfacing with anything client side). Sorry but my last message wasn't send in totality ?!?!? For my problem I can't use your solution because clients must be able to generate a Word document even when they are disconnect from the server. For example if it's a Desktop AIR application and they lose th econnection, they must be able to create a word document. thank you for helping me
