You would need to create the content in Word format, which is certainly not easy in pure C code. Even using the Word.Interop in C# is something of a challenge.

As Richard wrote C# is a possible way - not only, but it is the "natutarl interface" which microsoft designs for such purposes. (So there is no other)

An alternative solution in C is to write in RTF Format which word can read.

Word can understand many data formats. Rich text format was mentioned. Write your data file as html file and create your own table markup containing your data. Word will read this without any trouble and display it.

If you want to get really fancy crazy you can write an XSL processor in which the rules emit the HTML but that is a very advanced topic.
