fetching the document id

How do I fetch the document id of an open document in Word? I need that doc id to upload the opened document to a server. Can I do this by creating an instance of that document and use some property?

you need ActiveDocument from the Word.Application

something like (c# is a long time ago for me)

var word = Word.Application;
var doc = word.ActiveDocument;

provided you have office library's loaded

You can also hash the document and use the hash as ID, using a good hashing algorithm like SHA512 will guarantee a unique ID for every document.

you can use file/path combination as an id, because it will be uniqe for each file on the computer.
