So it looks like my answer is fairly well aligned to your stack. Yes, you might need to upgrade to .NET 4 for some of these options, but that is a simple move from .NET 2 so it shouldn't be a big deal.

As far as I could understand, your solutions were targeted to an individual machine. As I'm trying to make this as a web application, it is anything that involves Word COM or installing anything in the user machine (anything with high privileges is also discarded) is not applicable. I'm looking for a solution that can be used in every computer with access to a browser and an internet account.

If you are looking for something that can be used in every computer with access to a browser, then you should not be looking at Word at all. Just keep the document in Markdown or something which gives the user some limited formatting, such as what Stack Exchange does.

BTW, while all of my options do require installing / running something on the user machine, they could all be orchestrated via a web application. I don't think you'll be able to get away from some level of code running on user machine if you want to use Word specifically.
