You begin with creating a WPF application in Visual Studio, adding Word reference and a button control to your application using the following steps:

1. Create a new WPF project in Visual Studio.
2. Add the C1Word reference (dll) to your application.
3. Add the following namespaces in the code view:
   • Visual Basic
   • C#

   • Visual Basic

   imports C1.WPF.Word
   imports Microsoft.Win32
   

   • C#

   using C1.WPF.Word;
   using Microsoft.Win32;
   

4. Switch to design view and add a Button control to the Form in your application to start using the C1Word. Set the Content property to a suitable text such as, Text, Name property to btnText and the Click event to btnText_Click.
5. Double-click the btnText_Click event from the properties window.
   The btnText_Click event gets created in the code view.
