I have an application in Classic ASP that I'd like to be able to create a word document - I know this is possible using the Word object, but the only way I know of to put it on there is to install MS Office on the server. Is there a way I can download just the Office Object libraries from somewhere, or copy certain DLL's from another machine's installation?

MS Office was not designed to be used on a webserver as a automated document generation system. I know I have tried it didn't have a happy ending, it never made it out of testing do to how unstable it was.
Are you trying to do a simple mail merge or something more? I would suggest looking up tools to generate RTF, PDF's, or the newer DocX formats.
