Document Management with Microsoft Word

[Guest]

Dear Group,

Is there any straightforward way to do the following two tasks using VB.NET:

1. Overload the New/Save/Open/Print commands in Microsoft Word & Excel to
call functions in a seperate .dll ?

2. Write a data string to a hidden or custom field within Microsoft Word?

Has to apply to Office 2000 DOM and newer.

Many thanks in advance!

G'Day Little Fish,

1. Overload the New/Save/Open/Print ...

Do you mean OVERRIDE?

If you create Macros whose names are:
Sub FileNew()
Sub FileOpen()
Sub FileSave()
Sub FileSaveAs()
Sub FilePrint()
Sub FilePrintDefault()
Sub FilePrintPreview()
Sub FilePrintPreviewFullScreen()
or Sub FilePrintSetup()
then these will be executed in place of the Standard Word Commands.

You are responsible for displaying any required Dialogs, and for processing
the user input to those Dialogs.

2. Write a data string to a hidden or ...

Investigate Document Variables
and Document Properties.
