Hi Grant,
Office applications are designed for personal scenario, not server side. Due to this, the server side automation of Office is not supported.
>From your description, I know you have researched a lot for locating the root cause for this issue. Since the server automation of Word will cover too
much details, from my view, digging too deep on this topic may import more complexity and more configuration into your development. So I'd suggest
you can workaround this issue with impersonation. You can create one activex dll and impersonate to the administrator. Then convert the word files
into html with word automation. After the processing of convention, log off the administrator and continue the asp execution. This way, you can only
need to set one administrator account in the server side for this dll or use one existing account and all the low-level security details will not affect
your development.
The kb article 248187 introduces one code sample for you on the impersonation in ASP.
HOWTO: Impersonate a User from Active Server Pages

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.
