Word offers a object modell over DCOM. But I don't think DCOM is
working within wine or - without native dll's - will in near future.
What you can try to write a small vbs-script what does the job and
try if it works with wine and a native windows installation.
(Scripting host was working the last time I tryed.)
If yes, switch the trace on and look what dll's and registry keys are
needed. You might be able to do such things with a minimum of
ole-related native windows dll's and registry keys.

I saw a delphi-komponent for writing exel documents without excel installed
on the system. Maybe there is a word one too..
