Re: how to append MS word in a vb.net project

1. Just add your msword file on your setup project.
then you can modified path of msword file :
vb Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Application.StartupPath & "\MsWordFileName.doc")

2. On combox properties, set DropDownStyle = DropDownList

Re: how to append MS word in a vb.net project

You have to add com object reference in your appliction
i.e microsoft word 9.0 object library and in namspace
iimports the word so that you can use the ms word object in ur code as you like
just try it out.

Re: how to append MS word in a vb.net project

if u just want to open MS Word u can use
system.diagnostic.process.start("winword") no need to give path..
if u want to run in other machine also it works only thing is that machine must have msword installed.
