Does an addin run automatically?

[ljh]

Do addins for something like Word run automatically....in other words, can I
write an add-in that gets triggered when an event happens in Word (like
closing a document) without the user having to click my toolbar?

Are there any good resources for writing MS Office addins with VB.Net 2005?

(Yes, I'm googling.....)

Yes you can.
To do this, you need to use the events provided by the Application and
Document objects in the Word Object Model. Unfortunately I don't know of
any good resources for writing MS Office add-ins (the VS built-in help
might be a good start though), so I hope someone else can provide a few
good links for you.
Once you have the Word PIA in VS, look at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
and the Application and Document objects.
