See document in Word while editing the document

Hello,

We are evaluating Aspose Words for C++ software to see if it fits our needs.

Our customer has Word installed on their computer. Can we use an API to talk directly to Word, which allows it to see the document open in Word, while it is being appended by our application (via Aspose)? Is this mode supported by Aspose?

Thanks.

This is beyond the scope of the Aspose.Words API. The main purpose of the Aspose.Words API is to provide functionality for managing MS Word documents (doc, docx) in a way that resembles the MS Word application. However, it’s important to note that the Aspose.Words API doesn’t directly interact with the MS Word application. Additionally, when using the Aspose.Words API, it’s necessary to ensure that the file being accessed is not already in use by another process, as the API acquires a read lock on the file.
