I’m quite sure that my question is such a tip but I could not find any solutions.

I have a Word Add-In solution in which I want to open a Word document which is not at the same directory as the vsto file.

Here is my code to open a word file : 

object filename = Globals.ThisDocument.workingDirectory + Globals.ThisDocument.Id.ToString() + Constants.EXTENSION;
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Document doc = Globals.ThisDocument.Application.Documents.Open(ref filename, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

In my example : .vsto file is located in bin/debug and my word document in bin/debug/save

But I got this error :

Failed to load .vsto file

Sure, cause the .vsto file is not in the same place than the word document ! …

enter image description here

Any idea?

    I find the answer by myself,

    In fact when a document is saved in VSTO C# code, location of vsto file is stored in Word Xml structure.

    So nevermind your docx are stored, they will find their vsto file.
