To add a reference to a primary interop assembly:

1. Open your Visual Studio Tools for Office project and select the project name in Solution Explorer.

2. On the Project menu, click Add Reference.

3. On the .NET tab, select the primary interop assembly you want in the Component Name list. For more information about the available Microsoft Office primary interop assemblies, see Office primary interop assemblies .

4. Click OK.

The assembly name appears in the References folder of Solution Explorer.
