create word doc without automation

[Guest]

Hi folks,
I need to create some word docs in my applications (both winforms and
asp.net).
I would like to avoid using Word through automation, I would prefer to
generate directly the file in its bynary format.

Does anyone know about a CHEAP component/library that allows me to do that?

thanks

Consumer cheap ($20-$30) or business cheap (a few hundred). The SoftOffice
stuff are the best, IMO, but they are not consumer cheap. Not sure if you
can find something on sourceforge.net (open source) for Office; you can for
PDF, if that is an option.
