Hello,
I want to display the template folder in MS Word, using VSTO/C#, as if the user clicked on File-> New using MS Office 365 and the Personal templates are displayed on the screen. I'm using VSTO in VS 2022. With the C# code Application.Dialogs[WdWordDialog.wdDialogFileNew].Show(), it brings up the old/legacy new template dialog. How do I get to the new Word/office 365 New-> File dialog? Please advise.

    Hello,
    Added the below code and it seems to work.

    Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
    Application app = new Application();
    Document doc = app.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
    app.Visible = true;
    app.CommandBars.ExecuteMso("FileNew");

    Thanks!
