How to edit word document attachment using web form in Lotus notes

I have a client application now where users open word documents using ms word and save their changes. Now I am going to create a web application with familiar features. I would like to open the word documents in word online and save their changes back to lotus notes document. How we can achieve this? I don't have any clue where I need to start.

Solution

  • Several ways, but not in a web form unfortunately:

    • You can copy the file to Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Docs, and use their Office-tools

    • There are other packages that you can install on your server that allow your users to manipulate .docx files

    • Actually, we use Swing Software in our web application to download and upload Word files from a Notes database so the user can modify the file on their PC (using Word or Libre/OpenOffice). That may not exactly match your requirements, because Word has to be installed locally.
