C# with MS Word 2000 - Object Library - Not Saving Template Data

=============== ===
Problem Description
=============== ===
Following code is for
1. Load a Word Template called CustomerInfo1.d ot
2. CustomerInfo1.d ot is a normal Word Template with Form fields
3. After opening a document on that template, I put "2" in all the fields
for test

Problem is,
4. When I try to sav it, calling SaveAs, it just saves the "2"s and all the
other template contents, mainly text are gone.

=============== ===
Platform
=============== ===
-Win XP Pro
- Office 2000/ Word 2000
- Added Reference to "Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library" in a C# Windows
Application

=============== ===
Others
=============== ===
Most of the MSDN samples seems to use Bookmarks. That's the way I will go
if there is no resolution

Please guide.

Appreciate that

Thanks

An article at http://news.com.com/2100-1012-991694.html?tag=fd_top states: "XML would allow easier interchange of data generated in Office documents with back-end systems or existing Web services." As part of an Access 2000 application, I have to continually parse Word documents and store the parsings in Access tables using Automation to control Word and parse the document. Is there a way that XML would help with that? Thanks.

Apologies for the newbie question. I have created a vb.net program for my company that is designed to work with Word Templates (about forty of them that we commonly use) that are selected by the user and populated (with info from an Access database) at run-time, then saved as Word documents. The program I have coded works fine -- it does what I need it to do. But it has two problems: (1) it runs very slowly, and (2) it does not seem to...

I am updating a VB4.0 quote generation program to VB.net. The old program takes user inputs, performs calculations, saves the data to Access databases and uses Crystal Reports 5.0 to generate a quote. A while back users obviously wanted to be able to edit/e-mail the quote (these ancient Cyrstal 5.0 reports don't allow PDF creation) so I modified the old VB4.0 code to allow users to save the Crystal Report as Word document which they can...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
