Does anyone have exposure to a programmable asp.net editor control that
can approximate basic aspects of Word's programability? I have an
existing system that utilizes Word and vba to build a customized
document out of text snippets and then let the user complete the
editing.

The kinds of things that I need to be able to do

- create a doc from a template (starting point)
- alter header info and logo to match the org creating the doc
- replace placeholder text with text from database
- insert values from db into bookmarks
- allow the user to select and then insert text snippets with formatting
into the doc. In word, a dialog box opens which presents a list of text
snippets (each snippet has a title, the title is presented in the list)
and when the user selects a list item it's data (paragraph(s) or phrase)
is inserted into the document.

Either FreeTextBox or FCKEditor are about as close as you are going to get.
