title: open 2013 microsoft word document vb.net
body: <p>I am unable to open a Microsoft Word document in vb.net. I have the following imports:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Imports Microsoft.Office
  Imports Microsoft.Office.Core
  Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to call Word in my code I get the following error: </p>
  
  <p>Type 'Word.Application' is not defined</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim appWord As New Word.Application
