<div>
Thanks for the info. <br />
<br />
This is what I did:<br />
Ensured the Office PIA's were installed. <br />
Removed the Reference to Microsoft.Office.Core<br />
Added the reference to the Microsoft Word 14.0 Object Library<br />
This referenced the Microsoft.Office.Core and Microsoft.Office.Interop.W<wbr />ord<br />
<br />
Errors now zero thank you.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have upgraded from VS2010 to VS2012. To do this I had to uninstall VS2010.<br />
<br />
On loading existing projects that had Imports Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.W<wbr />ord I find now that all references to Word such as Dim oWord As Word.Application show as errors.<br />
<br />
Microsoft.Office.Interop.W<wbr />ord in the references shows with a question mark. I am guessing that my projects with Excel will also be the same.<br />
<br />
How do I correct this please.

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.
