word reference

[GUS]

I am using a macro in order to create a word document and paste some excel
data in it.

I have office xp
In order to make the code work without problems i made a reference to the
Microsoft word Object Library.
The question is simple
If i want to sell my program to others who hasn't office xp but office 2000
or office 97 the reference will still exists?
Does excel automatically finds the appropriate object libraries when it's
starts in other configurations?
And if not is there any code to search hard disk and add a reference to the
appropriate object library (in this case Microsoft word Object Library)?
Thanks
