Ppen blank Word doc from C# based on a custom teplate.[ Word 2003,

[Mike]

Hi! I need to open a blank Word 2003 document from a C# executable.
The document must be based on a custom developed template using Visual
Studio Tools for Office (also C#).

I am having difficulty getting started. I am trying to reference Office
assemblies in my C# app but can not find where they are. I performed complete
installation of Office on my PC.

Also, how do I open the doc and assign a different template than Normal?

Is there a way to open a blank Word document in such a way that new version
of Office do not break my application? For instance, if I reference Word
2003, when Word 2006 comes up, is my app going to break ?

Any ideas/suggestions/urls/code samples are greatly appreciated.
