Microsoft Office (and especially, Microsoft Word) does not run on Linux.
It's clear that using COM interop won't work to interface with Word. We'll
need to find another trick.

Using wvWare (or wvfornet wrapper) will enable us to read .doc files. To
write, we should use OpenXML or ODF.

OpenOffice is the obvious alternative perhaps?

Yes, but we should figure out how OD uses Office, and how to interop with Word
documents that are generated by versions of OD running on Windows
