Hi,

Can someone tell me how could I distribute the MS Word
components to different users so that they could only use
it to view the documents??

thanks,
irfan

You cannot legally do that. But, see

Hi robbins,

thanks for your reply.

I have tried using the word viewer, but that prompts for
an installation. I want to avoid that.

Oh, its illegal to distribute Word that way?. My
requirement is only for reading, so I thought I could only
distribute the required DLLs of Word

anyway, thanks for your reply.
bye

Hi,

Can someone tell me what all DLLs are needed to distribute
the word viewer instead of having the entire setup?

You should probably produce the documents in PDF format. Almost everybody
has the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
