compilation

Let's say I am using SharpDevelop/VS to develop an app that uses PowerPoint.

Do I need to recompile the app so there is a build for each version of MS Office?

I have MS Office 2007, but I would also like the app to work with Office 2003 and later, without having to recompile the app for each version.

Do I just need to install the appropriate Office Interop redistributable package/msi on the client machine, and ship my app as is?

Thanks in advance for your help.
