Muralidhara, how can i launch word in my application.

Preeti Agrawalla · Answer

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'Office' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Users\User\Downloads\ShivProject\ShivProject\EditDocument.cs 3 24 ShivProject Iftikar, this error i am getting.

Muralidharan Deenathayalan · Answer

If you call, System.Diagnostics.Process. Start (textBox1.Text); it will open in a separate process in that you can't do Find & replace. Instead of that, launch word in your application, do the find & replace. The code looks something similar to this. It will write some text into the word document and you can try for find & replace here. private void button1_Click ( object sender, EventArgs e) { object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; object Visible= true ; object start1 = 0 ; object end1 = 0 ; ApplicationClass WordApp = new ApplicationClass (); Document adoc = WordApp.Documents. Add ( ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing); Range rng = adoc. Range ( ref start1, ref missing); try { rng.Font.Name = "Georgia" ; rng. InsertAfter ( "Hello World!" ); object filename = "YOUR DOCUMENT PATH" ; adoc. SaveAs ( ref filename, 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, ref missing, ref missing); WordApp.Visible = true ; } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox. Show (ex.Message); } }
