Editing Word Documents from Web Server

I have looked for a solution to this but all I have found are products that are close but not what I need.

We have a program that creates a word document on the fly based on data from our database, and stores it on our server, then the user can download this file to print,email,file away.

I need something that will allow the user to open the existing document from the server, edit it, and save it back to the server.

I need this to be able to work on all browser, so activex isn't a full solution.

This link is a proof of concept of using CKEditor to do what you describe.

The focus is on ensuring that the "long tail" of possible docx content is preserved across the editing process.

For example, take a look at the Microsoft demo docx, which they use to compare their web apps with Google Docs, at google-documents-vs-word-web-app
