How to open a Word Document and read some values?

Hi,

i have already developed a word addin which works fine. It uses the globals.thisaddin.application.activedocument object to use the already opened document.

What i now want to do is, to open a second document out of my addin in the background and read some values.

How can i do that???

Hi bcinc.!

Use the Word.Documents.Open() method and set the Visible parameter to false:

object visible = false;
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.Documents.Open(..., ref visible, ...);
