Automate Document Save

[Marco Moioli]

Hi, I want to develop a C# add-in that automaticaly save in xml format the
document that I open.
I have a method that "save as xml" the Active Document but I don't know how
can I call it.

If I call it in "OnStartupComplete" it doesn't work.

public void OnStartupComplete(ref System.Array custom)
{
SaveDocumentAsXml();
}

There is a way to hook an event like "OnDocumentLoad"?

Thanks!
Marco

Does it return an error message? Generally, in template addins, when trying to
perform an action Word isn't able to support yet, we trap the error and loop
until it is allowed (or a counter hits a set value, so that we don't end up in
an infinite loop). If this isn't returning an error, you might try doing
something else that isn't "allowed" that will return an error.

For which application is the add-in made. Why not create a custom menu with
a menu item called SaveAsXML?
