hi friend May be some times we missed things in code.. try below code i'm using this in my projects: object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; object oEndOfDoc = \endofdoc; /* \endofdoc is a predefined bookmark */ // Start Word and create a new document. Word._Application oWord; Word._Document oDoc; oWord = new Word.Application(); oWord.Visible = true; Add your WodDoc.Add() after this code for opening a word file. Please mark as answer if it helps you.
