ASP.NET

My users upload Word 2007 documents to our site and I'd like to load them into a rich edit control of some kind so the users can make modifications/ comment, etc.

What mechanisms are available to:

load the Word document via ASP.NET, and
parse/format/display the document in a rich editing control?

Also, what kinds of rich editing controls are best to use in this circumstance?
