When you create a document programmatically, the new document is a native Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document object. This object does not have the additional events and data binding capabilities of a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document host item. For more information, see Programmatic Limitations of Host Items and Host Controls.
Starting in SP1, you can use application-level add-ins to convert any Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document object to a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document host item. For more information, see Extending Word Documents and Excel Workbooks in Application-Level Add-ins at Run Time.
When you develop a document-level project, you cannot programmatically add Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document host items to your project.

The Add method has an optional Template argument to create a new document based on a template other than Normal.dot. You must supply the file name and fully qualified path of the template.
