Understanding what office.js automation can do for my solution

Copper Contributor

I currently have a small reporting solution which is extendable using razer templates
The templates are compiled on run-time and generate html content.
I use ms-word like styles (the styles found in the head of a html exported from word). then I open these files one by one in a word application and insert the content into another file which has bookmarks to specify which content is placed where.

I can do this all using word com integration. I want to move my application to a web-service based model and was hoping if I could get the same done with the online version of ms-word.

I have explored office.js and it seems to provide enough control to put content in word. So technically, if I create a word  add-in, it should provide the way forward. but how do I open documents in a headless environment in the cloud and run my add-in  ?
is there any way to do that ?
