1. RTF from Bookmark, 2. menu appearing after Add-In uninstallatio

[Vivek]

Hi

I have got two issues with Word AddIn implemented using Extensibility2 in
VS2003

1. How do I get RTF formatted text from a Bookmark without using Clipboard ?
2. After uninstalling the Word Add-in the custom menu still appears, though
th custom toolbar doesn't... But the menu events do not fire... How to remove
the custom menu ?

Thanks in Advance,

Vivek

For number 2, you might find my Dynamic Menus COM Add-In Sample Project
helpful. You can download it here:

I'm assuming we're talking about COM Add-Ins here. Though my sample project
is a VB6 add-in, the same principal would work with other languages. There's
a lot of other stuff in the sample code, but the basic idea is that you have
your own traditional .DOT "global template", that you would install along
with your add-in DLL. When your COM add-in starts, it uses
Application.AddIns.Add to load your .DOT global template. Then when you make
any menu customizations, you set Application.CustomizationContext to your
..DOT global template. You unload it when your COM Add-in unloads. Then when
you uninstall your application, have the .DOT file deleted too. Then, Poof,
all your menu customizations are gone, because none were ever made to
Normal.dot. And changing a user's Normal.dot is considered bad form anyway.
If you have any questions, let me know. I know I didn't explain it in
depth....
