what's the better library for automation of microsoft word?

[cppfanscn]

hello sir/madam
I have googled around for this question,but I still have some questions on it.
I have found 2 two solutions,is there any better than these?
#1 use the office COM+ to invoke the word files
#2 use the openoffice SDK,I wouder when this deploy to the client,does it need to install JAVA JDK & openoffice on the client side?
any suggestion?
regards
Ken

I just use low level COM to do it. I hate bloat in my code so I wouldn't use any library that 'wraps' COM calls to supposedly make them more palatable. But I know that is anathema to modern C++ coders. If you would like I'll post a demo that opens Word, changes some margins maybe, and writes "Hello, World!" to it. I can do that in about a 10k executable statically linked using GCC.
