I have written a smart tag dll. it shows up in the in the smart tag list. however, it does not seem to work. since this is the first smart tag i am developing, i have no clue to what the problem is. so i would like to debug it. i cannot attach to the winword clr (i a not even sure if that is the right way to debug it). i saw that there are two utilities stexplore and recognizetester. i could only find them on the gotdotnet site. however, i have not yet been accepted to the workspace so i cannot d/l from there. is there another way to debug the recognizer and action? thanks for all your help m
