I am attempting to write an add-in for Microsoft Word 2007. I d like to create a Ribbon Button that when clicked, gets a FileStream for the current or active document. I would assume that is possible with the Visual Studio Tools for Office. Does anyone have any sample code that would show how to do this?
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks
Try this out on the ribbon button code (for document-level add-ins):
string document = Globals.ThisDocument.Application.ActiveDocument.FullName;
Then use the standard example for FileStream.Read on MSDN
*Might need to prompt or force a save first, if unsaved changes exist.
Another approach might be to get the XML representation of the open document, using .WordOpenXML
That will be the current state (ie including unsaved changes).
