This is a great video! I've programmed against Office using both VBA and VSTO. I've only recently starting looking at the JS API. This video gives a MUCH better overview of the API than other videos I have looked at. My feeling after watching this is "NOW I understand how the JS API works!"

Amazing tutorial even after 6 years since it was published. This is one of the few videos that dealt with the issue of "contact the administrator". I found it very odd and there are very few resources online that deal with this so bravo!

Thank you very much for the explanation. We are in the process of exploring ways to develop and deploy a Word Add-in by plumbing in our legacy code. It would be interesting to see how the add-ins could be dynamically loaded as we load the Word Instance as we launch it from a Web Application.

thanks for explaining the differences. In terms of properties and functions that you can use for interacting with Word, are both methods more or less comparable? For example, say that I want to know what pages have footers, and what margins are used, and even more advance stuff like looking at sentence structure, and grammar. I feel that VSTO is better integrated with Word API. I know you could probably extend it with REST API to augment functions, but is that a sound architecture?

The new js API might be an interesting option in future but currently it's still too limited almost as it was experimental. Not sure where Microsoft is heading with it. They even rejected to implement a print API and let you fiddle with some strange services to send the document to... printing a single Excel sheet on the other hand is a complete mystery.

Very true, if you want to do anything complicated like header footer manipulation, adding shapes etc, you will have to use ooxml in web addin world.

I am trying to do the same example in Outlook. However, I can not see the new ribbon in my Outlook. Why is it not visible in outlook?

Until I read this comment, I was starting to think I was the only one who had this ridiculous issue. Apparently, you first need to go to the "Ribbon1" Properties menu and set the "RibbonType" property to "Microsoft.Outlook.Explorer", which is NOT the default value for this field. I couldn't find this answer anywhere on KZbin or in Microsoft's official documentation, which is pretty mind-blowing. // end semi-rant

Hi Justin. I'm trying to program an add-in for outlook too using VISTO but I'm quite lost, could you share with me any example of an outlook add-in you have programmed. Thanks in advance.
@hippopotamus866 жыл бұрын
I'm up to the part where you run the plugin without Outlook with the sample tab and button, but mine doesn't show the tab or button. I can see the addin is running from within Outlook though.

Go to the "Ribbon1" Properties menu and set the "RibbonType" property to "Microsoft.Outlook.Explorer." Everything covered in this video should then work after that.

@vikas0704864 жыл бұрын
you need to install the word packages when you installed VS. this is optional, so might be you have uncheck this option but you can get this option to enable by simply update your VS.

But if Web add-ins require a server then that means it isn't a replacement for VSTO, because VSTO can work Offline while Web add-ins can't!
