Automating a Word Macro from C#

[fatima.issawi]

Hello,

I am trying to run a Word Macro from C#. I am getting the error:

Unknown name. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020006
(DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME))

when I get to the line that actually runs the macro. All the other
code runs correctly. Am I calling the macro correctly? The macro is
available in the Normal.dot template. It is available if I open the
file and manually try to run the macro. It just fails when I try to
automate it.

I have attached a code snippet. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Fatima

Hello,

Silly me. I should be calling the macro like this instead:

wordApplication.GetType().InvokeMember("Run",
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod,
null,
wordApplication, new object[] { "Test" });

Hope this helps someone else.
