I have written an Add-In for MS Word. Can anyone tell me the most reliable
way to get the full path to the temporary directory used by MS Word? On my
system it happens to be:

C:\Documents and Settings\Self\Local Settings\Temp\Word\

I would like to be able to retrieve it using the Word/Office Document Object
Model or whatever works best.

thx
