title: Word Automation using microsoft word interop for a web application without an Interactive User
body: <p>I am aware that Microsoft does not recommend using word automation on server side (<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757" rel="nofollow">link to considerations for server-side Automation of Office</a>).</p>
  
  <p>Still I see some advantages of using word automation such as the ability to use a template and allow my client to change it (the plain text) with no need to change any coding.</p>
  
  <p>My problem: I couldn't find a way to execute the word automation function when there is no interactive user (I am using a virtual dedicated server and I have to use remote connection). If I don't connect to the server the word automation doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>I read what I could find on this topic, and I would like to share the way I managed to sort this problem out.</p>
