Javascript Edit Word Documents

[mechaviper]

Is there a way I can edit MS Word documents using the repository Javascript API?
Document.content corrupts the MS Document for some reason.

Document.content writes plain-text to a node's content. MS Word documents are binary files.

If you want to change a Word document using code, consider the <a href="http://poi.apache.org/">Apache POI</a> project. It's a Java API for Microsoft Office documents. You could use it from Alfresco actions, behaviors, Java-backed web scripts, etc.
