I get to use [link|http://www.aspose.com/Products/Aspose.Word/Default.aspx|Apose.Word]. Now I can "cleanly" write Word automation routines inside .NET. head.bang(wall).

Or as it would probably look in .NET.

public void partial degenerate abstract pointless _head: System.bodyparts.tophalf.head\n{\n  protected void something orother head_process(object sender, EventArgs e)\n  {\n    if (e.type == "wall") {\n      this.doAction["bang"](e.object)\n    }\n  }\n}

The really sad part is that this is the best solution me or my boss could find to the solution of printing labels from a web page. So what the application is going to do is load a Word file, mail merge it, and then push the result to the users. They then open it in Word and print it.

I was hoping that after all these years I wouldn't have to do this sort of crud any more.

I tried a few things, none of which could do what we needed easily. Label printing was a big sticking point. MS's own report services, for instance, when given 4 quarter inch rows to print, prints a block that is almost exactly 15/16 of an inch high.

I'm sure there is a report tool that would be better then what we are doing. But I didn't have the time to weed through them to find the one that could do what we needed effectivly.
