Hello,

open word from my win form application.
Any idea???

Is it my imagination or there is nothing on automation for word 2000/office
2000?

Thanks

The MSDN examples are targeted at Office XP. However, most of them will
work equally well in Office 2000 -- the Office XP type libraries (Version
10) are just a superset of the Office 2000 libraries (Version 9). I'm
actually developing a Word add-in that is backwards compatible with Office
2000 and higher, since a lot of potential customers are still using 2000.

Here's the reference for Office 2000. The examples just need to be
translated from VBA/Visual Basic 6 to VB.Net or C#.

Use my code below, you can open almost anything in windows:

System.Diagnostics.Process openDoc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

openDoc.EnableRaisingEvents = false;

openDoc.StartInfo.FileName = lsFileName;

openDoc.Start();

openDoc.WaitForInputIdle();

Sorry, I forgot to tell that I'm using Office 2003.

I have a solution with a windows application project and an word project.
How can I call the word project from the windows application???

Thanx
 
Good idea, but it's generally better to automate Office using its built-in
support for automation.
 
It do not work on my PC at all :( I have used this code and many other
like this, and can print/open only txt documents, but had "file not
found" error on pdf, doc, etc file types. I guess it something
happends with file association? I'm not good at .NET but txt print
association in just notepad /p %1 but all other uses DDE, may be the
reason is here?

Click to expand...

Notice that the application associated with the file format must support
printing the files.
