Question

I am trying to detect when a user edits a word document using the word interop.

I am aware that this even is not built in:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.word.application_events.aspx

Is there some way to simulate this event or capture any edits some other way?

Answer 1

It sounds like you will need to add your own custom event handler. Edit: Or use the Document.Saved property.
