Hi =?Utf-8?B?ZHlvd2Vl?=,
Instantiating a Word.ApplicationClass in .NET is slow. Is there a way to
improve this?
Doubtful. You're going through two layers of "interpretation": .NET to COM
and then through the Word applicatio interface.
Speed of starting the Word application, generally, depends on how much
"stuff" it has to load (add-ins). If you're app is part of an Enterprise
solution you could try working with the Network admins on a way to control
how/when Add-ins are loaded. But if your app is from outside the structures
in which the user works then you shouldn't have any access to that kind of
thing and have to make do with the environment as you find it.
