Hi is it correct that smarttags defined in a VSTO 2005 word project is only recognisable in documents based on the template? is there some way of making VSTO smarttags recognizable in all word documents? A smarttag.dll will do the trick, it will however lack the connection to the action pane. (this.ActionPane in VSTO). Kind regards Henrik
Hi Hk, I think you're mixing terminology? Don't you mean "smart document"? SmartTags are something else, and aren't related to action panes that I'm aware of... No, in current versions of Office and VSTO all VSTO projects are template- or document-specific. They can't be used as Add-ins. Currently, there's no way to program an Add-in with a "action pane". > is it correct that smarttags defined in a VSTO 2005 word project is only > recognisable in documents based on the template? > > is there some way of making VSTO smarttags recognizable in all word > documents? > > A smarttag.dll will do the trick, it will however lack the connection to the > action pane. > (this.ActionPane in VSTO). > Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-)
Microsoft has simply used the same object (SmartTag and the SmartTags collection ) and schema to implement two things (Smart tags used to recognise text, and controls in Action panes) which do completely different things. I don't know why - maybe they originally intended that the two things would have more in common, or maybe there's a connection with another technology (e.g. Research panes) I'm not familiar with.
