Is it possible to do Application Level Task Pane for Word (2003 ? 2007 ?)
Addin - I am using Orcas and VSTO 2005.

For 2007 you can create a CustomTaskPane. There is nothing of this nature
for Word 2003. That supports only the SmartDocument Actions Pane technology
(which VSTO 2005, full version, wraps); SmartDocument is document-specific
and can't be used at application level.

Thanks Cindy.

So I am using Orcas and created a Word Addin, but I don;t see CustomTaskPane
- do I need to add any reference ?

Hi Satyen,

So I am using Orcas and created a Word Addin, but I don;t see CustomTaskPane
- do I need to add any reference ?

I'm afraid I've not installed Orcas yet (no machine available), so I can't help
you. But have you tried asking in the Orcas VSTO forum?
