Using Office Libraries

[Janitor]

Am I correct in assuming that, when using a Microsoft Office object in my program, that the end user will not need to have Office installed to use the object? Shouldn't the installation, upon adding the necessary libraries, take care of this?

I don't believe that you can legally distribute the office files at your leisure. The object libaries that you are referencing will also have their other MS Office file dependancies and registry settings.
