Conclusion

This chapter explored some of the most important objects in the Word object model. We use many of these objects in the Word examples in subsequent chapters. We also consider some additional Word object model objects used to work with XML in Word in Chapter 22, "Working with XML in Word."

This chapter described these objects as defined by the PIAs for Word. Be aware, however, that VSTO extends some of these objects (Document, Bookmark, XMLNodes, and XMLNode) to add some functionality, such as data binding support. Part III of this book, starting with Chapter 13, "The VSTO Programming Model," covers those extensions.
