problem with the COM library reference shawn 30.07.2006 16:11:02 I am following the code example presented here_> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316383/en-us but I have a problem. It instructs me to reference the Microsoft Word Object Library. I cant find it in the COM references. I am using Microsoft Office Standard edition for students and teachers on this machine and the closest COM refence I can find is the Microsoft Office 11.0 Object library. When I add the code from the sample mentioned above I get the following error: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\Horizons Without Boundries\Form2.vb(1): Namespace or type 'Word' for the Imports 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word' cannot be found. I know there is a simple solution to this problem, but i would appreciate some insight into it

Can you open Word and press Alt+F11 to go into the VBA Editor? If you can, in Tools/References to you see the Microsoft applications listed (Excel and Powerpoint, for example)? Was the .NET Framework already installed on your machine when you installed Office? Did you explicitly install the PIAs when you installed Office?
