Word automation works quite well. I got my start automating Word '95 -- I'm not sure how far back it goes. Unless there's a compelling client reason, I wouldn't do any new development to support anything prior to '97. The reason is that the object model *substantially* changed from '95 to '97, requiring two sets of code (or *every* property and method call in a wrapper class). '95 and prior versions use the Word.Basic model, while '97 and 2000 use the Application/Document models. The difference between 97 and 2000 is minimal, so it's pretty easy to support both 97 and 2000.

Hope this helps,
