Merging MS Word with Smartform output

Hi Guys,

I have a requirement of merging the content of a Microsoft Word file with the output of a custom smartform being executed from a custom driver program. The requirements are as follows:

1. The program should read a word document from user's local machine and/or application server and print it before the smartform output is printed.

2. The content of the word document (read from the user's local machine or appln server) needs to be converted to xml and inserted into beginning of the xml file that is generated by the smartform. The xml file from the smartform is being generated through setting SSFCOMPOP-XSF etc. parameter.

Thanks in advance for your help...
