    - Usage of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Field(.Range) Hi, I'm trying to use a Word.Field for automation of a word document. What I want to do is place content in a field (like a table) and then update that content when a user hits the "update" button. I expected that the Field.Range is like any range in Word, in which you can add tables, inlineshapes, apply formatting etc., but I've tried over a dozen ways to create a table inside of a field. Maybe it's just not possible (or maybe i'm just using the wrong wdFieldType but there are quite many types of wdFieldType) but i've seen other software which makes use of fields in a way I also like to do. I've tried things like this: example c# code: object type = WdFieldType .wdFieldAddin; object text = null ; object preserveFormatting = true ; object start = 0; object end = 1; Interop. Range rng = _document.Range( ref start, ref end); Interop. Field field = range.Fields.Add(rng , ref type, ref text, ref preserveFormatting); Object defaultTableBehavior = Type .Missing; Object autoFitBehavior = Type .Missing; field.Result.Tables.Add(field.Result, 2,2, ref defaultTableBehavior, autoFitBehavior); I've spend hours searching for an answer but I haven't been able to find anything usefull, so any help would be very much appreciated.

    - Hiding Multiple Rows In Excel In One Command? Hi, I am just doing some VSTO Excel code and I need to be able to hide a list of rows. Making individual calls to do this in a loop is REALLY slow (I'm assuming because of the COM interop ), so I was wondering if there was a way to do it in one command, maybe by building the list of rows in c# and passing it to excel somehow, but I'm not overly familiar on how to manipulate the range object in C#. I would be grateful for any suggestions. At the moment, but function looks like... // // function to filter rows that do not match criteria // private void HideRows(Excel.Range in_range, string in_filterString) { // loop through range foreach (Excel.Range row in in_range.Rows) { // does this match the criteria Excel.Range cell1 = (Excel.Range)row.Cells[1,1]; if ((string)cell1.Text == in_filterString) row.EntireRow.Hidden = false; else row.EntireRow.Hidden = true; } } Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Smart tags Word 2007 VSTO 2005 SE Office

    - Please help with pasting clipboard into Rich Text Field Hi all, I'm new to C#. After 7 years developing lotus notes solutions in LotusScript, JS and VBS I decided if I couldn't beat them I'd join them and I'm now creating Sharepoint solutions amongst other things. After false starts with VBS and JS Infopath I have come to realise that C# is the way forward. I've re-rwitten my biggest form using C# and it's let me do everything I needed. One thing I am struggling with though is pasting into a Rich Text field. I am using ExecuteAction("Copy") to copy a section on the form and I want to paste that section into the relevant field. ExecuteAction("Paste") doesn't seem to work no matter what I try. I keep getting the error: "The specified bstrAction value for the View.ExecuteAction call is not applicable for the current selection." I was thinking there must be some way to simply paste the contents of the clipboard into the field but can't seem to find the right way to do it. Very simple to you guys I'm sure but I'd appreciate the help. Thanks Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Smart tags Word 2007 VSTO 2005 SE Office

    - VSTO 2005 SE, Office 2007, and ... Visio for EA version? Ok... I am setting up a new Vista x64 workstation for development. I am going to install VSTO 2005 SE which wants me to have just one version of office installed. That is going to be Office 2007. However, I also want to install and use Visio for Enterprise Architects off of the Visual Studio Team System 2005 Developer Edition DVD... I assume that is going to be Visio 11 (Office 2003). That means I will have 2 versions of Office installed, which VSTO 2005 Second Edition says it will not support... So.... my question is, what Visio SHOULD I install Should install Visio 2007 (assuming it exists), and if I do, what Enterprise Architect features will I be missing (or at least, what features won't I have -- I can't guarantee I will actually *miss* them).

    - vsto vb.net need table in table or wrap rows? I am building a table and am getting data for the table from sqlserver. The columns that are being returned need to be wrapped into a second row. I was thinking of the folloing logic. Create table 1, loop through data, create table with 2 rows, fill table 2 with data for the record, next. Is this the best approach or is their a method that would wrap the columns into the next column with out needint a table in a table. In either case can you point out an example of how to do this. Also a side note, when I search MSDN and get results like this they are in french, itialian, espanol, why will it not stay on US-EN My profile says USA.

    - Publishing VSTO 2005 SE addin to a network location Hi, I want to publish my Outlook add-in build using VSTO 2005 SE to a network location so that updates can be automatically pushed to all users later. The steps mentioned for this are as follows: In Visual Studio, use the Publish Wizard to deploy your solution to a server. Make changes to security policy so that each end user can run the solution. Create the required registry entries on each client computer. Copy the application manifest for the add-in to each client computer. The publish wizard generates the application manifest and other output files. But I'm not sure how to achieve the steps 2,3 and 4. Is there some some standard way which we should follow for changing the security policy, making the registry entry and copying the required files to the client machine. Can someone please throw some light on these points. Thanks and Regards, Rakesh Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Smart tags Word 2007 VSTO 2005 SE Office

    - Converting Interoped Code to Managed Code I have an old VB6 program that uses Word automation to fill in a bunch of bookmarks with text from the database. I urgently need to rewrite it, as it only works on a few relic machines now. When I started the conversion I see that the Bookmark.Range object has been deleted from the .NET object model. I'm trying to download the new definition from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=da039ba4-b7c2-4f99-a45a-0b210299c2b7&displaylang=en but, it's hung up. Using Intellisense I note that it's suggesting I replace the Range object with the XMLNode object. Could someone expound on that suggestion, please. I don't know when the object model document will ever be finished downloading. Thanks. Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Smart tags Word 2007 VSTO 2005 SE Office

    - VSTO 2005 SE Word 2003 addin won't load I have been reading through everybody else's questions about why their addin won't load and I've tried everything I've come across but my Word 2003 addin will not load on anyone's computer but mine. These are the things I have done so far: I used the VSTO project template for Word 2003 to create the addin project. I added the SetSecurity project. I included output from both SetSecurity and my addin project to the setup. I installed the interop assemblies for Office 2003 on the target machine. (.Net Framework 2.0 was already installed.) I installed the VSTO SE runtime. In stalled my addin. No addin appears when Word is run. I did some more digging and discovered that the LoadBehavior value in the registry had to be set to 3. I checked out the registry for my addin and it was set to 2. Even if I manually change it to 3, Word still fails to load the addin and sets the value back to 2. One of the posts I read suggested that it might be a security problem so I tried running CasPol to give my addin's directory full trust, manually changed the registry entry for LoadBehavior to 3 and ran Word. Still no addin and the registry entry was silently set back to 2. I'm running out of ideas. I've spent almost as much time trying to get the addin to run on a system other than my own as I spent writing the darn thing in the first place. The VSTO documentation hasn't helped me at all. In fact, many of the topics are circular in nature, each referring to another topic that eventually leads me right back to the first. Isn't there some way to diagnose why Word won't run an addin Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Smart tags Word 2007 VSTO 2005 SE Office

    - Customize Outlook View--use Custom Task/Form, or what? I am looking for how to implement the following: Modify Outlook UI (VSTO, I assume), so the Mailbox view, the navigation pane displays a list of folders, which are not mail folders. They would be folders which represent folders say on our document storage server. The user should be able to "move" items from say their inbox folder, DRAG AND DROP onto these custom folders mentioned above, then somehow implement code to copy the mail message to the other server. The requirements are asking to have these custom folders, hopefully inside the Outlook Navigation pane (or at least on left nav ). My question is what customization concept should I use My first research (reading only) suggests the usage of a custom task pane, maybe with a tree control. But not sure if I can drag and drop and not sure if I can get the custom task pane to appear in left nav. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

VSTO 2005 SE only contains app-level customizations. Unfortunately, currently VSTO smart tags are only part of doc-level customizations.

If you need to developer Smart Tags you could use SmartTags SDK.

Any plans to support VSTO smart tags in app-level addins in the next release of VSTO This would be huge for us.

What about other doc-level host controls -- any plans to support those w/ app-level addins

Both items are in the plans. We will still need to balance it out with other features though.
