Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library

[Jman]

I do not have Microsoft Word installed on my computer.
I need the Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library to access Word documents.
Can I install this component?
Where can I get it?

If you're intending to implement Word automation with ASP.NET, don't... It's
not designed to run in this environment, Microsoft actively discourage it,
and won't support any application which implements it:

There are several other options, depending on what you are trying to do...

What are you trying to do...?

Where can I get it?

It comes free with Microsoft Word.

It comes free with Microsoft Word.

That means, you get (buy) MS Word and install it, then, you get it "free",
if you call anything packaged in a product as "free".

I want to build a tool in VB.NET to modify Word documents. I do not have
Word installed.
I want to install the object library.
Sorry there is no VB.NET newsgroup.

I installed the Microsoft Word Viewer but it does not install the Object
Library

OK.

I want to install the object library.

You'll need a copy of Word, then...

Sorry there is no VB.NET newsgroup.

Have you tried this one: microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

I installed the Microsoft Word Viewer but it does not install the Object
Library

That's correct.

Ok, jokes aside

To Jman what you want is not possible without buying Word. The object
library is just a COM interface to the application's code. If you had the
object library you pretty much have Word;

app = Word.Application
app.Show()

You can't get the object library without having the application, they are
the same thing.
