Hello I have written a DLL that uses MS Word to spell check the content of a RichtextBox. The project uses Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library. I have read that you can use that reference on machines using that version of Word or later, and that seem to be true. However ... When I run the dll in a test app on a machine with Windows Vis...
I'm having a problem with some mail merge code that is supposed to produce letters within our application. I'm aware that this code is a bit rough at the moment, but we're in the "Get something working" phase before we tidy it up. Now the way this is supposed to work, and the way it works when we do it manually, is we have a file (the f...
I am having a problem when trying to programmatically print a directory of word documents. In this example, I am trying to print only the files with the "3_" prefix. The problem is that the file does not print unless there are two files with the 3_ prefix. I have been looking around forever to figure this problem out. Is there someth...

The way I deployed it was by including the Interops in the bin and I had my program reference it from there as opposed to referencing it from the GAC (not very professional, but it worked fpr years). Recently on 3 machines the off...

I have automated word document creation from templates using the "Microsoft Word 12.0 Object Library" in my project, but it is unacceptably slow. I'm looking for alternatives: I need to create a document from a template, run some macros and insert text and tables into various bookmark ranges (some text formatting options would be nice to...
I am trying to use some Word 2007 automation where we give the user the ability to select a printer to print to and compile a word document. We give the ability to print locally or on a network printer. Network printers are specified in the code by their fully qualified path (printername + port if there is one). The problem is in Window...
We have an application that uses word automation. It works fine under Windows XP, but does not work on our Windows Server 2008 64-bit virtual machine running on VMware ESX unless it is running as the domain administrator. Under any other account (including a local admin), Word starts, uses a lot of CPU for 40 seconds when opening a doc...
I'm attempting to write find/replace code for Word documents using Word Automation through Interop.Word (11.0). My documents all have various fields (that don't show up in Document.Fields) that are surrounded with brackets, eg., <DATE> needs to be replaced with DateTime.Now.Format("MM/dd/yyyy"). The find/replace works fine. However, s...

I used to convert Word documents to PDF via Word Automation: Enumerate the CommandBars until one containing "PDFmaker" was found, enumerating its controls and executing it. With Word 2007 this no longer works - although the PdfMaker Com Addin is installed and accessible via the Acrobat menu. PDFmaker is required for quality reasons. T...

I'm considering using the Word Automation Services feature of SharePoint 2010 for a project. I will be converting single documents and my users will be waiting on the conversion so it needs to be as close to realtime as possible. The worse case of my users having to wait 1 minute before their document conversion is even started by the ...
