You should grant an access to Word COM component for ASP.NET process identity ({MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6):

"Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Component Services - Computers - My Computer - DCOM Config"

Find out "Microsoft Word Document", right click - Settings - Security Tab, grant access (local and remote) for ASP.NET process identity ("ASPNET" for IIS 5, "Network Service" for IIS 6).

If then you get an "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A13E9): There is insufficient memory. Save the document now." exception when open/add document (my own expirience), just delete temporary files from %Temp% and \Content.Word folders.
