I know that you can create Word & Excel documents with 3rd party
components, without having office installed on the client
e.g.
http://samples.infragistics.com/sllob/infragistics-word
http://samples.infragistics.com/sllob/infragistics-excel

If you want a free component to do it, there might be a way to do it with
the open office library and do it server side? But then you still need to
find a way to send it to the client, as Greg mentioned
