Question

I cant really seem to find a documentation for word addins in C#. Like to find out how to insert text I played with intellisense for half and hour to find Application.Selection.Range.InsertAfter(); Is there a documentation to this I’m trying to figure out how to print out formatted text like a link but I’m finding little resources.

Answer 1

Your are not really specifying what you want to do exactly. One of the best starting points into figuring out how to do stuff in office automation is to record a macro and then look at what it generated.

For this question I entered a line of text in a document:

This is a new line of text and this a link

Then I used ctrl+leftarrow 3 times to move the cursor before ‘this’ and selected the next 4 chars (this). Then I turned the selection into a hyperlink pointing to stackoverflow
This is resulting code:

Selection.TypeText Text:="This is a new line of text and this a link"
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, Count:=3
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=4, Extend:=wdExtend
ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection.Range, Address:= _
    "http://www.stackoverflow.com/", SubAddress:="", ScreenTip:="", _
    TextToDisplay:="this"

In general it’s not that hard to convert this vba stuff to c# and finding the proper methods
