My word addin writes some stuff to the document in the AddIn_Startup event (of course under some conditions ;-) ). When a document is recovered, most of the time there is recovered text in the document and I dont want to write in the recovered file with my generated text.
So I need to know how it is possible to determine if the ActiveDocument is recovered.
I am using C# and Visual Studio Tools for Office 2010.
The Word object model doesn't provide anything for that. But you can use CustomDocumentProperties for adding a marker that you have already added the text to the document. See the CustomDocumentProperties property of the Document class for more information. It returns a DocumentProperties collection that represents all the custom document properties for the specified document. Before adding a text you can check out the value of custom property and decide whether you need to add the text or not.
