I would like to open a Word document in C#. I mean I would like to know how a Word document is embedded in C#.

I found some article in the net and I have a question. What does it mean here: Open Word Application, and Add New. If I open the Word I don’t see any "add new" is that in C#? I’m using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

All the methods used Word automation is derived either from Word.Application or Word.Document class.

Let’s consider that we want to create a document using the Word Application, we might end up doing the following steps, Open Word Application. (Opening Word Application creates a new document by default, but in Automation, wee need to manually add a document)

Add a New document.
Edit the document.
Save it

You can find the article here by the way: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/amrish_deep/WordAutomation05102007223934PM/WordAutomation.aspx
and I would like to make it clear that this is not a homework.

    I tended to find the Open XML SDK much better to create Word documents with, as it doesnt require an instance of Word or Excel.

    Open XML Format SDK V1

    Open XML Format SDK V2

    Version 2 is much much better than version 1.
