I would like to be able to post word 2007 document on my web site and
then use this document as the content of a web page. I know share point
can do it but i can't use it on my server. So is there another way to do
so ?

Ho yes, My web site is in c# with framework 2.0.

SharePoint doesn't read Word documents and then generate HTML web page
content from that. SharePoint allows users to share the Word document
collaboratively. Users would actually be working on the Word document.

Unless you are in a closed environment, using Word documents in your web
application is a bad idea, since not everyone has Word. If you are just
looking to make web pages based on Word documents, you would be better off
converting the Word documents to .pdf files and posting those (along with a
link to the Adobe Reader software) or just copy the Word content into an
HTML editor and creating an HTML page from there. Whatever you do, DON'T
use the Save AS Web Page option in Word, as the resulting code will be
horrific.

Er.. I think it does:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA101637801033.aspx
SharePoint conversion service can take any Office document and convert it to
a HTML content.
And it's not same as Save As Web Page.. it's much better.

I stand corrected, but as the OP said, he doesn't want to use Sharepoint,
which makes me wonder exactly what he's trying to do.

Sometimes it's better to sit when being corrected.
