Calling VBA functions from C# Addin

Hello,

we are pretty happy with all the features and stability wich addin-express offers.
But sadly I didn't found a documentation for our Problem.

Our Problem is that we want to Call VBA function of an already existing VBA-Word 2003 addin.
So is it possible to call these function (the functions I want to call are all "void"-like and don't give back a value that I would have to handle).

We have currently quite a big word addin - and now we want to create all the GUI-part witch addin express and C# and slowly convert everything till there is no more VBA Code - therefore it would be great if we could call our functions from C# code and then migrate the addin step by step.

I hope you understand what I mean and I hope you can help me out.

Best Regards
Felix

Hello Felix,

All object models in Office are vast. We cannot even mention all of the features of selected Office applications. That would require creating a separate book for every such application.

You need to use the Run method of the Word.Application object (you access the ibject via the WordApp property of the add-in module), see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff838935%28v=office.15%29.aspx.
