I think for COM stuff to work, you'd have to have MS Office installed on
the server. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone; that would be just
another way into the server should someone wish it. Windows and MS
Office are just about the most popular bits of software around, and
Windows is inherently insecure, such that I'd be unsurprised if their
Office software was as insecure.
