    Adding Reference to older Word Object Library

    To allow users to access different version of Word in c#, you can
    either use late binding, which is very hard to implement in c#, or make
    use of the earliest Word Object Library, ie. OLB 9.0 for Word 2000.
    The following article seem to imply that if you have a later version of
    Word, eg. Word XP, you can remove the reference and use browse to look
    for the older OLB, eg. MSWORD9.OLB:



    I've tried it but when I check the properties of the reference in
    c#Beta2, it shows up as Object Libary 11.0 which is the version for
    Word XP on my PC. The MSWORD9.OLB was copied from my previous version
    of Office 2000 and therefore is a valid and correct OLB. I am using
    beta2 so I am not sure if this is also an issue with c#2003. Am I
    doing something wrong or is this a problem with c#?

    Thanks
