I am working on a Office Word add-in for Word 2003. When I reopen the project, the VS2008 auto covert dialog box opens and tries to convert it to the Word 2007 format. How can I reopen this file and keep it in the Word 2003 format? ...
I'd like to take some RTF input and clean it to remove all RTF formatting except \ul \b \i to paste it into Word with minor format information. The command used to paste into Word will be something like: oWord.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.PasteAndFormat(0) (with some RTF text already in the Clipboard) {\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttb...
I am trying to replace the current selection in Word (2003/2007) by some RTF string stored in a variable. Here is the current code: Clipboard.SetText(strRTFString, TextDataFormat.Rtf) oWord.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.PasteAndFormat(0) Is there any way to do the same thing without going through the clipboard. Or is there an...

Is there a reasonable way to extract plain text from a Word file that doesn't depend on COM automation? (This is a a feature for a web app deployed on a non-Windows platform - that's non-negotiable in this case.) Antiword seems like it might be a reasonable option, but it seems like it might be abandoned. A Python solution would be id...
I want to write a word addin that does some computations and updates some ui whenever the user types something or moves the current insertion point. From looking at the MSDN docs, I don't see any obvious way such as an TextTyped event on the document or application objects. Does anyone know if this is possible without polling the docume...

I have been playing with this for a while, but the closest I have gotten is a button that opens the "Paste Special" dialog box and requires another couple of mouse clicks to paste the contents of the clipboard as unformatted text. So often I am doing a copy-paste from a web site into a document where I don't want the additional baggage...

Our ASP.NET application must be able to export web content to PDF and Word documents. In the past, we've used Aspose's libraries to accomplish this, but we've found them to be a little too low-level in terms of document construction. e.g. We've found ourselves needing to write point-based functions using shape primitives to create bulle...
I am creating a custom content type feature for MOSS that will also include a Word 2007 document as the document template. The same Word document will also have a Document Information Panel (DIP) and Quick Parts for all the fields in the content type. The problem is that when my feature is deployed the Word document's Quick Parts no lon...
Businesses Analyst from my team keeps sending us the updated Requirements documents often and I end up hunting the recent changes by comparing the old version.

I want to check for the existence of a table with a given ID in a word document in C# (VS 2008) Visual Studio Tools for Office (version 3). Obviously I can iterate through the document's Tables collection and check every ID, but this seems inefficient; the document will end up having a few dozen tables after I'm done with it, and while ...
I have a macro which refreshes all fields in a document (the equivalent of doing an F9 on the fields). I'd like to fire this macro automatically when the user saves the document. Under options I can select "update fields when document is printed", but that's not what I want. In the VBA editor I only seem to find events for the Document_...
