Microsoft Office Word 2003 Automation in ASP.NET Pages

[Stelios Skiathitis]

I 'm thinking of using the Microsoft COM object to develop an asp.net page
that will generate a word document from data filtered from an SQL server
database. When the application is going to be deployed in windows server
will the server require office installed so to work properly?

Yes, and you'll need the interop components too.
