In my application I have word template with tags which are later replaced using interop.word (find/replace) and then sent to print using print preview dialog: Interop.Word.Application.Dialogs[WdWordDialog.wdDialogFilePrint] On a result of a dialog I am printing or closing the document. For office 2003 and 2007 this is working absolutely fine, but in office 2010 later print preview dialog is absolutely different. I've found related post here but I need to grab dialog result so that i could further do print or close the doc. Is there any workaround or soultions for that? Just for the future

For a customer of mine I need to force the spell checking in a certain language. I have explored the MSDN documentation and found that when calling the CheckSpelling() method in the active document, it will invoke the spelling check. This method has parameters for custom dictionaries. My problem is that I can't find anything about those dictionaries or how to use them. Also there is still the possibility that there is of course another way to do this. Can anybody boost me in the right direction? Found my solution: foreach (Range range in activeDocument.Words) { range.LanguageID = WdLanguageID

I'm trying to transfer data from a DataSet into an Excel workbook. Unfortunately, I need more control than I can get by simply linking to Excel via ADO.NET and using standard SQL to select and insert the data, so I'm using excel interop. My original algorithm involved looping through all the tables/rows/items of the data set and individually setting the Formula of each cell in Excel. This worked, but it was taking nearly half a minute to transfer all the data. I decided to try a different solution: convert each table to a tab-delimited string (using a combination of StringBuilder and string

I am automating Word, so I would like to suppress all alerts. Word.Application word = new Word.Application(); word.DisplayAlerts = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsNone; I use the code listed above, but I keep getting messages from Word - e.g., the document is already open. Is there a way to avoid this? How to supress all those stupid messageboxes? EDIT : Concider to all answers, I guess a watchdog is really the only option. To bad nothing has changed in last years. Thread can be closed without a real answer. The portion of code that you have posted obviously looks correct,

Currently, if I create a Word Document Template with fields, and then fill them using C#, I do it similar to this... object missing = Type.Missing; Word.Application app = new Word.Application(); Word.Document doc = app.Documents.Open("file.doc", ref missing, true); Word.FormFields fields = doc.FormFields; fields[2].Result = "foo" fields[3].Result = "bar" Is there a better way to reference the fields? I notice when creating the template I can add a Title and a Tag to the field, but I haven't found a way to reference those properties. It would be nice to be able to name fields and reference them
