Object Library

[Matthias Langbein]

Hi all,

I'm building a Word-Addin with VS.NET. Therein I need a reference to
the Microsoft Word Object Library, which is in my case the version
11.0.
When I distribute my Addin to other people, is there a problem when
they've got a different version of the Word Object Library, e.g. 10.0?
Do I need to build a distribution for every version of the Word Object
Library (one for Word 2k, one for Word XP, ...)?

THX, yours Langi

No. Depends a little on how your installation is packaged, but usually the
reference is simply to MSWORD.OLB, and the system automatically uses
whatever version is actually installed. Or you can use late binding, in
which case you'll get whatever library is in the registry as
"Word.Application".
