This will be a ajax oriented project and i'm well prepared with the web related part of it with ASP.net and C#.net at the server end and HTML,Javascript at the front end. But the point where i'm struck up is:

Just like zeocrash said, start with something simple.

  1. Try creating a simple page with a Rich Editor like FckEditor or TinyCME.
  2. After that, look in google for a library that converts the HTML entered by the user into a doc or odf; or write your own by using Word's API.
  3. Finally, try to customize your HTML editor using a combination of JQuery and server side code to do exactly what you want.
