Word Automation Compatability

[=?Utf-8?B?Q2hhcmxpZQ==?=]

I have a reference to Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library in a vb.net 1.0
project. The application creates a mail merge.

I am testing with Word 2002, and everything is working correctly.

I want to know which versions of Word I should expect this application to be
compatable with.

Is the Microsoft Word 12.0 Object Library available as a download? If so,
would I need it to make my application compatable with Word 2007?

What would the earliest compatable version of Word be, using either of these
Object Libraries?

Can you post the code please.

I think it is compatible to all upgraded versions?

That was very helpful. Thanks.

Charlie,

This is not my sport, however be aware that Visual Studio 2005 has a part
which is called visual studio for applications, that should do it in my idea
for all versions.

The old way with the objects is forever depended on the word version and has
forever been a trouble area.

However, sorry this is not the part I like therefore what I write is not
based on knowledge, I had the same trouble as you with all those versions,
and I am glad that it is at the moment not my problem. (Probably it will be
soon)

:-)
