Writin add-ins for Word97 ?

[klintsovi]

Hi,

I want to write an add-in to use with word97. does anyone know how this can be done ie what project type is needed for the successfull connection of an add-in in word... I tryed to use activex dll with a add-in designer as a component. but I fail to open the resulting dll file in word....

thank you

If you're making a WORD addin, remember these things:

1) The Addin MUST be compiled into a .WLL file.
2) The Addin MUST be written as a WORD DOCUMENT with macros. Remember the document_open!
3) The Addin MUST BE SAVED AS A WORD ADDIN USING WORD, not renamed. A .dll file would not work.
