1. I assume your wanting to try to change the view programmatically. I havent found a way with Office's dialogs.

2. No it doesnt cost any money for programming against Word. Press Alt+F11 to open words VBA IDE and then press F2 to view words object browser. its the easiest place to view all words objects and methods, etc.

Not sure if your familiar with VB APIs but they are for the most part compatible with VBA. You can download an API Viewer utility from allapi.net.

3. Just create the default events in Word for DocumentBeforeSave and write code in it to write out the info you want to your log.

For more info and code examples you can search by my username and word on the forums.


Moved from API forum.
