Disclaimer: I'm brand new to VB6 and COM+ (4 days).

I'm tasked with writing a class that's a wrapper for MSWord. One of the things we want to do is open a Word doc in ReadingLayout.

My research tells me that ReadingLayout is a property of a View. But I'm not making the connection in my mind between a View and a Document. Do I need to open the document so it becomes the ActiveDocument and THEN set the View to ReadingLayout=True?

Also, I keep running across references to Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document. Do I need these in order to do what I need to do? If so, where are they--how do I reference them??

Many thanks for any clarity anyone can provide on these issues.
