Communicating with MS Word
When a Silverlight 4 application is running with Elevated Permissions you can access COM objects which can be quite handy. Here we have a small example showing how to open Word and set some text.
It is important to include the following namespace when wanting to use these features:
using System.Windows.Interop;
You will also need to add a reference to the Microsoft.CSharp.dll which can be found in:
Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Silverlight/V4.0/Libraries/Client/
Like the Excel example we are using the new dynamic keyword present in C# 4, this allows us to grab an instance of the Word application. To open Word and display it we use:
word.Visible = true;
We then create a new Word document and add some text, there is a whole host of possibilities with the new COM access capabilities of Silverlight 4.

Dear Author -
Please help.
Do you know how to input and output Word documents to and from Silverlight?
As your excellent example shows, it is possible to launch Word from a Silverlight application.
However, what I want to do is to be able to import and export Word documents to and from a Silverlight application
I could use DOC format or ODF format or RTF format or some other document format, as long as the document format supports full editing in Silverlight, with embedded images in the document.
How can that goal be achieved?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi Vlad & lsym1985,
Yest, you must be running in OOB and have Elevated Permissions to use COM.
Thanks!
