Hi All,
After reading quite a few posts and trying out various shortcuts or hacks to acheive an "Application Level Task Pane" for Word 2003, i have really come to a grinding halt !! few of the paths that i followed were
1. Tried to modify the XML of a WORD document by adding the _AssembleName=* and _AssemblyLocation custom document properties....
I am now trying to acheive this by Attaching Managed Code Extensions to Documents...still work in progress
i guess my question would be that in one of these posts Misha Shneerson did point out that it was possible to attach a task pane at an Application level but could only be acheived by someone like her who knows the internals of ActionsPane and VSTO and that it wasnt for the *****Faint Hearted*****.... still trying to locate that post... so if any one could point me in the right direction or suggest an alternative, that would be great !!!
I know that Custom Task panes are possible in word 12/ 2007... but i def. require to achieve this with word 2003 / Office Pro edition... as our target audience is not likely to move to office 2007 for quite some time !!!
If i haven't been clear please do ask for clarifications !!!
tha,
