Document Map API

[PL]

I am tring to do the following and want to know if it is possible:

- Publish a Word document into SharePoint
- Parse it up into chunks/sections based on Headings.
- Display a side nav exactly like Document Maps
Save the chunks into a linked list format so that each section is treated as
a list item and searchable.

Any ideas on how to do this?

ThanksLP

what y're asking is not easy...

MS Word VBA doesn't have an "out-of-the-box" control/form/userform you can
use
to suit yr wishes.
You can mimic a userform to act as such, and have the docking functionallity
be done by (if at all possible)
using some heavy API calls.

Using VSTO (visual studio tools for office) you could use an Action Pane
control.
Y'd still need to use coding to loop through the utilised styles (the
Headings)....etc
and consolidate these into usable controls on your user defined Action Pane.
The Action Pane can be docked to look like the Document Map.
