Have you installed the Office PIA (Primary Interop Assembly)?

If not - I would strongly suggest using that Interop rather than generating
your own, the PIA is strong Named by Microsoft. :)

There are different versions of the PIA for different versions of office.

Here is XPs:

Office 2003 Setup includes the PIA's.

I do not know if there any available for 2000 and below.

If none of this applies to you (if you are using something like Office 98
:)) you can strong name your assemblies by generating your Interop manually
using the Type Library Importer - specifying a key file for the strong name
(which can be created using the sn.exe).

Here are some links to articles on the Type Library Importer (tlbimp) and
the strong name key generation tool (sn.exe).
