This depends on how exactly you're reading and writing Word files. If you're using the native functionality in CF (CFDOCUMENT, for example) it's not necessary, although OpenOffice may be necessary for some operations. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WS56EA2935-FBD2-4089-8402-FDDA2BAF55FB.html If, on the other hand, you're using a COM-based solution, that will probably require MS Office. In no case does CF use the client's PC for any of this.
