Opening Word 2000 File

[Kevin]

Hi
I've this code to open a Word 2000, but this generate an error. I reference
to Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library.

WordApp = new Word.ApplicationClass();
if(WordApp != null)
{
WordApp.DisplayAlerts = Word.WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsNone;
WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Open(ref DocFile, ref FalseParam, ref TrueParam,
ref FalseParam,
ref DocPassword, ref NullObject, ref NullObject, ref NullObject, ref
NullObject,
ref NullObject,ref NullObject, ref IsVisible);
if(WordDoc != null)
{
WordDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.WholeStory(); // GENERATE ERROR >
NullReferenceException
WordText = WordDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.Text;
}
}

The ActiveWindow property is null.

Whats wrong in this code?

Thanks

Kevin,

If the app isn't visible at all, then how can any window be active?

Also, why would you assume there is a selection when you open the file?

What are you trying to do?
