I'm looking for new alternatives in creating/changing doc/docx files from word template (asp.net). In the past I was creating documents using XML schemes, but since i4i case Word 2010 don't support them. Microsoft suggests custom controls, but I have large documents with quite a few dynamically generated tables and I don't think that these controls are a good solution.

Does anyone have any alternatives similar to XML Schemes?

Check out the Open XML SDK 2.0 from Microsoft. Then you can use the Simple OOXML project to get you started. Does not work for legacy office documents (i.e. doc/xls) only the new ones like docx and xslx.

hint: a docx/xslx is really a zip file full of xml documents. just change the extension to zip.
