get the path and name of the docx that is currently running c#

Question

I'm coding an add-in for word , On the following code I take all the words that is in the file and put them in a dictionary.

`
   Dictionary<string, string> motRap = new Dictionary<string, string>();
   Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application application = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
   Document document = application.Documents.Open("monfichiertxt.docx");

        // Loop through all words in the document.
        int count = document.Words.Count;
        for (int i = 1; i <= count; i++)
        {
            // Write the word.
            string text = document.Words[i].Text;
            //motRapport.Add(text);
            motRap.Add(text, "blabla");
        }
        // Close word.
        application.Quit();

And I want the file name of the docx that is currently running, instead of writing "monfichiertxt.docx".

Can someone help me please Thank you.

You can use the Name property or the FullName property like this

string name = document.Name;
string fullName = document.FullName;

Name will give you "MyDocument.docx" and FullName will give you "...\MyFolder\MyDocument.docx"

This question has been handled before and having never tried it, 1 google, and 2 lines of code, I get a simple answer. Although as an addin, I'd not have expected you to need to do this to get the word instance you're already part of..

    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application word = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Word.Application") as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application;
    label1.Text = word.ActiveDocument.Name;

You have to know that we don't have all the abilities of finding the answer of our questions/problems as easily as you. Thank You for your answer but that will not work for my case. – titi2fois Jun 23 '17 at 14:15
