Look at what you're doing. You've put the new instance of the document as the target of a using block. Do you know what using does in that context??

When execution leaves the using block the document is Disposed automatically! Yes, there's is no longer any Word document open. If you want the document to stay open, you cannot use it as the target of a using block.
