Your wish is unfortunately (or fortunately!) not possible, except perhaps within a Java wordprocessor / browser / sandbox environment or something on M$'s Real Soon Now wishlist for .NET. Your WP can't (yet!) save to the 'net, and your 'net system can't steal a file from your filesystem.

The only other alternative I see is having a daemon or timed ("cron") service on the user's system that automatically checks for edited files and uploads them back to the 'net server.

Much as we'd all like to see such capabilities, they are too easy to exploit. That's why I used the word "steal" above; I did so deliberately. M$ ActiveX comes to mind, and we all see horror stories of how crackers exploit what's left of it in Outlook and IE.
