C#, Word document

lsg

Hi,
Is there any possibility to write an application i C# to open a MS Word
document (doc, docx), find any form fields and fill them, save and print
modified (filled) document without Word installed? Or make that
application works with Word 2k, XP, 2003 version?

Yes, but given that you want to span all of those versions, it will be
slightly difficult.

The reason is because microsoft only had primary interop assemblies for
versions of office back to XP. Because of this, you will have to create an
interop assembly to make the calls to Word 2k yourself.

Or, you could make all the calls late bound, through reflection,
although you might take a performance hit by doing so. However, it would
simplify making the same calls across different versions (assuming the
parameter signatures of the methods you are calling are the same).

Aspose isn't cheap (>1K). use this - Invoke Solutions Ltd - Docx Library it's free and doesn't need neither COM nor P/Invoke
