• Visual C++ 'Long' using 12 bytes rather than 4?

  I am new to Visual Studio/ C++, so have been working through a book. As with other text books, it suggests checking that long variables take 4 bytes and that consecutive variables are separated by 4 bytes. Using 'sizeof' on two variables gives 4 bytes each, but looking at their addresses shows a separation of 12 bytes. (I am using Visual Studio 2005 version 8.0.50727.42.) Using my Borland compiler, on the same code, gives 4 bytes seperation. ...Show All

  Hi, I use VSTO ServerDocument.AddCustomization() method to dynamically customize Word .doc file. However, if I try to customize a fresh (new) Word .DOT file, a new instance of Word is started even if one already exists. This is causing so much pain.
