body: <p>How to edit a Word Document (.docx) stored in a SQL Server Table?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the tentative work flow:  </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Read BLOB from SQL Table through Ideablade  </li>
  <li>Write BLOB to disk as .docx  </li>
  <li>Open .docx using Word  </li>
  <li>User makes changes  </li>
  <li>Save .docx using Word  </li>
  <li>Read .docx into BLOB  </li>
  <li>Write BLOB back to SQL Table through Ideablade </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>All sample code is welcomed?<br>
  I am sure there are a lot of people doing this already.  </p>
  
  <p>Any other ideas on how to simplify this process?</p>
  
  <p>I am using VB.NET, .NET 3.5 SP1, WinForm and SQL Server 2008.</p>
