Hi all i am working on the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word COM component. I need to find the line number of a found text. How do i go about doing this?. Please help me.

Are you trying to use Word from an ASP.NET web page. It can be done (I have done it), but you will great problems setting all the required permissions to get it to work. This is why Word is not supported running behind an ASP.NET web page.

I am using windows application.I have the following requirements

1. I need to find the text in the MS word document.

2. I need to get the line number of that text.

3. In the next line i need to write some text.

>I am using windows application.I have the following requirements

Are you using Winforms or Webforms?

Which version or versions of word are you using? 

HI i am using Winforms, MS office word 2003 version, and i am using the namespace MS word 11.0 object library. Please do help me in resolving this issue..its very urgent

>Hi I am using Winforms

As you are using WinForms, you should be posting your question on the MSDN forums rather than here where it is for WebForms.

One of the problems you will probably face is that of Com+ activation permissions. To set these, go:

1. Start, Run, enter MMC, OK
2. File, Add/Remove Snap-in
3. Click Add
4. Select Component Services, Add, Close
5. Click OK
6. Save you MMC for alter use.

When you get a COM error, not the object class and find it in the COM explorer. Once found you can fix the permissions.

I urge you to do this using a virtual machine if at all possible as you if make a copy of the VM before you start, you can very easily roll back.

You start your investigation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/microsoft.office.interop.word(VS.80).aspx 

...or even at http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/microsoft.office.interop.word.find(VS.80).aspx

Also look at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/Word_Automation.aspx - this has an example of a programmatic find

How do i know about the object model on the word document

>How do I know about the object model on the word document

You will need to explore the Microsoft Documentation.

Have you tried the example code from CodeProject? 

object str1 = str;

Word.ApplicationClass wordApp = new Word.ApplicationClass();

//wordApp.Selection.Find.Execute(ref str2,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing);

//MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToString(wordApp.Selection.Find.Execute(ref str2,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing)));

//doc.Range(

//Word.Sections sec1 = doc.Sections;

//Word.Range rng = sec1.Range;

//Word.Section sec2 = doc.Sections.Add();

//Word.InlineShape ils = new Word.InlineShape();

//ils = doc.InlineShapes.AddPicture(@"C:\Documents and Settings\geethan\My Documents\My Pictures\HLD.JPG", true, true, rng);

//doc.Save();

//object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

do

findRange.Find.Text = "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word";

//findRange.Find.Replacement.Text = "";

ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,

object unit=Word.WdUnits.wdWord;//.wdCharacter;

object type = Word.WdBreakType.wdLineBreak;

//object rng = findRange.GoTo(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToLine,.Duplicate;

findRange.Move(ref unit,ref count);//.MoveEnd(ref uni,ref count);//.Duplicate;//findRange.GoToNext(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToLine);

object rng1 = findRange.Duplicate;

findRange.InlineShapes.AddPicture(@"C:\Documents and Settings\geethan\My Documents\My Pictures\HLD.JPG", ref missing, ref missing, ref rng1);//.GoToNext(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToLine);

Geetha What do you need done with your code listing?
