  Hello every one,

  I am trying to open, create Word documents using my windows form application. I am using VS 2005 on Vista. I found that we can do it by adding reference to "Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library".

  In my VS 2005 I didn’t find "Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library".  Is there a way to download it form some where. And does this support all versions of MS word?
  
  I found “Microsoft word 12.0 Object library” in my VS2005. Where can I get the documentation for this?
  Please help
  Thank you.

  Hi,
  
  I have VS 2005 on XP pro and found " Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library" in the Com references.
  After adding this component I've used this code to open MS Word.
  
   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
          Dim m_Doc As Word.Document
          Dim m_App As Word.Application
          m_App = New Word.Application
          m_Doc = m_App.Documents.Add(Template:="Normal.dot")
  
          m_App.Visible = True
      End Sub
  
  However if you just need to open a word document use:
  
  Process.Start("filepath.Doc")
  
  Wkr,
