Open Word document error

[Alan T]

In my C# application, I want to open a Word document using the code from the
Help:
using Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Word;

object readOnly = true;
object fileName = @"C:\Test\NewDo cument.doc";

this.Applicatio n.Documents.Ope n(ref fileName,
ref missing, ref readOnly, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);I got a
compilation error:'WindowsA pplication2.For m1' does not contain a definition
for 'Application'

RE: Open Word document error

You need to declare an instance of Word:

Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Word. Application app = new
Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Word. ApplicationClas s();
object readOnly = true;
object fileName = @"C:\Test\NewDo cument.doc";
app.Documents.O pen(ref fileName,
ref missing, ref readOnly, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
