Opening Word 2000 File

[Kevin]

Hi
I've this code to open a Word 2000, but this generate an error. I reference
to Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library.

WordApp = new Word.Applicatio nClass();
if(WordApp != null)
{
WordApp.Display Alerts = Word.WdAlertLev el.wdAlertsNone ;
WordDoc = WordApp.Documen ts.Open(ref DocFile, ref FalseParam, ref TrueParam,
ref FalseParam,
ref DocPassword, ref NullObject, ref NullObject, ref NullObject, ref
NullObject,
ref NullObject,ref NullObject, ref IsVisible);
if(WordDoc != null)
{
WordDoc.ActiveW indow.Selection .WholeStory(); // GENERATE ERROR >
NullReferenceEx ception
WordText = WordDoc.ActiveW indow.Selection .Text;
}
}

The ActiveWindow property is null.

Whats wrong in this code?

Thanks :)

Kevin,

If the app isn't visible at all, then how can any window be active?

Also, why would you assume there is a selection when you open the file?

What are you trying to do?
