Hello Andrei ,

This is actually a duplicate, but I unable to quote/ reply to the Changing Office version of Addins, but it is displaying error "The type or namespace name 'Word' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"


This is what I did - Added the interops from Addin Express Redistributables ( of Office 2007 ) and removed the Interop.Word, Interop.Outlook,


The errors go away when I fully qualify the Word, Outlook as below

public Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Application WordApp
{
get
{
return (HostApplication as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Application);
}
}



I have also added the following lines at the top of the AddinModule.cs file

using Microsoft.Office.Interop;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

I have made the above changes, but sadly it asks me to make the change everywhere WordApp is used.

Please suggest.

Thank you
Sujay

Hello Sujay,

I suppose your code expects these using statements: 

using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using Office = Microsoft.Office.Core;
