Word XP and 2003 Documents.open with c#

[Jean Paul Gevaert]

I wrote a c# program that opens a .doc file with documents.open. The program has to run on pc with Office 2002 or Office 2003

Office 2003 is installed on the developpers PC, I also Installed the word XP pia. When I want to set references I can find thos for Excel Xp and Excel 2003, but for word I only find the 2003 versio

1) Can somebody tell me how I have to add the refference to word xp
2) What do I have to do to let my program open documents wit the word version tha is installed on the system (XP or 2003

If all you want to do is open a document, why not just call Process.start?

I have too change the attachedtemplate of the word docs.
The problem is the incompatibility between word XP and Word 2OO3.

What I did was change documents.open to Documents.open2002 and everything was working. The reference to the word 10 dll is not necessary.

So my problem is resolved
