Managed code exported via COM Interop may not load correctly inside of Word or Excel VBA if the assemblies were written for the .NET 2.0 Framework. There is a policy that locks back the CLR to versions 1.0/1.1 for Word and Excel, unless the client updates their Office 2003 version or is running Office 2007.
