Of course. You can use google to find several components. If you want docx, you can also do it directly, since it is an open format - not like legacy doc.

Yes, there is, and, if you would agree on .docx, not even necessarily 3rd-party.

First of all, this is a good idea to avoid using the Office interop. Please see this Microsoft article warning you about it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q257757#kb2[^].

Alternatively, you can use Microsoft Open XML SDK:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30425[^].

This way, you can support new XML-based Office formats (such as .DOCX, .XLSX), ECMA-376 standard:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_XML_formats[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML[^].

Also, the documents are supported by 3rd-party software. Please see my past answers:
Convert Office-Documents to PDF without interop[^],
Need a rather unique WPF text editor control[^],

Depending on the doc type you want to create, you can use ReportViewer RDLC report format which is free and made by MS guys. You can create a RDLC report and then fill it with whatever you want and export it to Word doc format through code. Here is a sample code Exporting to Word/PDF using Microsoft Report (RDLC) without using Report Viewer.[^]

Again, all depend on what kind of document you want to create but it is a good alternative. HTH
