Here is the code, please use as you want, currently in form load event, and do not forget to add reference to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word from project - Add reference:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

namespace WindowsApplication1

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Word.Application word= new Word.Application();

Object missing = Type.Missing;

Object btrue = true;

Object bfalse = false;

Object filename = "I:\\1\\test1.docx";

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document oWordDoc = word.Documents.Open(ref filename, ref missing, ref

bfalse, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref

missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref

missing, ref bfalse, ref missing, ref missing, ref

missing, ref missing);

oWordDoc.Final = true;

oWordDoc.Close(ref bfalse, ref missing, ref missing);

}

}

}

Answer 2

Thanx for the reply.

Its working fine. But i am getting messge "This document will be marked as final and then saved". How can we make this message in silent?

Answer 3

I forgot to tell you, I could not do that as well, didnt find any documentation re that, its a boolean value and accepts true false, no other parameter

In MSDN:

Word Developer Reference

Document.Final Property

Returns or sets a Boolean that indicates whether a document is final. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.Final

expression   An expression that returns a Document object.

Remarks

True marks the document as final, notifies recipients (if any) that the document is final, and sets the document to read-only.
