The Knowledge Base article below explains how to talk to a running instance
of an Office program:

Is there any way I can talk to a running instance of a winforms app? I.e.,
Can I call some public method in a running winforms app from another
winforms app (or maybe a service)?

Does .Net even work like this?!?!

Thanks!
 
Take a look at the System.Runtime.Remoting namespace... also look in the
..NET SDK help for the .NET remoting overview, and the sample of how to build
a remoting application.
