Hello newgroup. In my application I'm calling on the Microsoft Word Object
Library to run a spell checker. How would I redistribute this object library?
Thanks.

You are absolutely not allowed to distribute the object library (as far as I
know).  You distribute your interop library (interop.Word.dll,
interop.Office.dll etc.) and it finds the required library itself.  The user
must have Office installed in order for the interop library to find it of
course.

So my spell check method will not work if the target machine does not have
Office 2003 installed on it?

No, the client machine needs MS Office installed + license.

There are 3rd party spell check components online which are Office
independent.

The Office 2003 Update: Redistributable Primary Interop Assemblies which
you posted in another message are merely the interop assemblies. They
bridge .NET with the unmanaged Office DLLs.

Only if the user has Office installed.
