Disable MS Word Addin's

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a VB.NET (2005) project that creates a word document using a Word Template (TCI.dot).
The code I have (below) is working as expected.

VB

wapp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application
sDestination = C:\Archive\NewDocName.doc
wapp.Visible = False
docTAPCoverIndex = wapp.Documents.Add(strTapCoverIndexTemplateName)
'Where strTapCoverIndexTemplateName = Template name.

What I want to do is create the wapp object without launching the add-in's that are associated with word. I don't have control of the Office/Word environment.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

Thanks,

This scheme might do the trick...

first start a Word process using the /a switch, like "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe /a" or load the document also:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" /a /t"c:\documents\test.doc"

Then try to take control over this instance using GetObject.

Good luck!
