Hi Bob,
I think the COM Add-ins is a good and strong feature introduced by
Microsoft, it is convinient to use it work with Office application.
You can create COM add-ins in any language that supports COM, such as VBA,
Visual Basic, and Microsoft Visual C++. Add-ins created with Office
Developer are packaged automatically as DLLs and registered for loading in
the host application. You also can create a single add-in that can work in
several applications.
For a Walkthrough to create COM add-in with VBA, please refer to :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/modcore/htm
l/dewlkwalkthroughcreatingcomadd-in.asp
I think you also can refer to the OLE Automation.
Automation (formerly OLE Automation) is a feature that programs use to
expose their objects to development tools, macro languages, and other
programs that support Automation.
For How to Use (OLE) Automation with Word, please refer to:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;184974
You can search "OLE Automation" in MSDN to find more information about it.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,

| Thanks Jeffrey
|
| Will see what can find and do. Still unsure about office
| version interoperability of add-ins. Have you any idea? Is
| there a clear statement anywhere on this?
|
| Have to say in in some ways it seems easier to stick with
| C++/MFC where documentation is less elusive and products
| certainly work.
|
| Do you know if anywhere there is a C# (or even VBA or
| whatever) sample of an not totally trivial add-in. Like
| the old OLE2 scribble sample.
