You can record a macro doing what you want and that will give you a lot of the code. Then just google for c# microsoft word examples.

@Praveen Kumar

I have never done this .. so basically I am opening a word doc programmatically(c# code using Interop refernces) writing some text into it. which I am able to achieve.

But now I want to add a combo box to hold a list of values and show one value selected.

Okays I will give it a try, Thanks.
