Remarks

A Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document object provides the same members as a Document object from the Word primary interop assembly, but it adds the following features:

Controls property. Use this property to add managed controls to a Word document, or remove controls, at run time.
VstoSmartTags property. Use this property to add smart tags to a document.
InnerObject property. Use this property to get the underlying Document object for a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document.
Document-level events, such as BeforeClose and BeforeSave, that are provided only at the application level in the Word object model. That is, in the Word object model, these events are available on the Application object rather than a Document object.

In an application-level project, you can create a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document object by using the GetVstoObject method. For more information, see Extending Word Documents and Excel Workbooks in Application-Level Add-ins at Run Time.

In a document-level project, you typically do not use Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document objects directly. Instead, use the ThisDocument class to programmatically access the document in your project. The ThisDocument class derives most of its members from the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.DocumentBase class. This class redirects all calls to its members to an internal implementation of the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document interface in the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. For more information, see Programming Document-Level Customizations.

Note

This interface is implemented by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. It is not intended to be implemented in your code. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.

Usage

This documentation describes the version of this type that is used in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4 and the .NET Framework 4.5. In projects that target the .NET Framework 3.5, this type might have different members and the code examples provided for this type might not work. For documentation about this type in projects that target the .NET Framework 3.5, see the following reference section in the Visual Studio 2008 documentation: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=160658.
