Default User Interface for Word

I wouldn't try to design some kind of user interface on top of Word.
Although it might be possible, there are better ways of handling this. Why
not let your application create the Word document? You could use the openxml
sdk to generate documents. For an example see

(this example was randomly taken from Google search results, there are
dozens of others which are possibly as good or even better)

Is it possible to design a user interface that runs on top of Word to
generate documents? There are numerous, expensive Electronic Medical
Record
(EMR)applications that allow you to select items on a user interface that
generate patient notes and reports. They don't provide a great deal of
flexibility. I would like to design my own. Does Word have this
capability?
If not, is there another application that does?
