But it was from January 23, 2020. Download and install in VS 2019 Community Ed. And boom : Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll is not supported on my PC. The PC where was installed app was with Win 10, MS Office 365 and .NET Core 3.1
So, you have the following :
- In VS 2019, go to Solution Explorer and remove a reference to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll file
- Right-click on References and select Add Reference
- Click the COM tab
- Select Microsoft Word 16.0 Object Library and click OK
Then, in Dependencies you can see added COM -> Interop.Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
And here how this looks like :

Now you can compile without error !
