Accessing opened Word documetn

Question

Hi I need to access an opened Word document and process it without making a copy. I'd like to run C# app from inside of word (through a macro of some sort) that will parse the doc and modify it somehow. Could anybody provide some info regarding accessing opened word doc. Thanks

Hei the main issue is to connect C# application to working instance of Word with document opened I'd like to work on that doc without forcing user to save it. the document is being generated and opened by external application. Most of HOWTOs regard opening new Word window with c# but it's not the case this time.
