What are the best libraries/plugins for .NET to access Word (create Word files and such)? I have used the Winnovative Excel one so I might check out their Word one, but what are some others?

I've always been partial to Aspose.Words. They have a whole line of components for other document types: PDF, Excel, etc.

I have used the free Open SDK 2.0 from Microsoft in the past, primarily to manipulate Office 2010 documents on the server (where installing the Office components is not recommended).

Since the Office 2010 file formats (e.g., XLSX, PPTX, etc.) are simply zip files containing a bunch of XML files, they can easily be manipulated without having to install any Office component.
