Hello Dave,
From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you want to know how to
extend a Word COM add-in to Excel and PowerPoint. If I'm off base, please
feel free to let me know.
First, we need to add the registration entries of the add-in for Excel and
PowerPoint:
Right click the addin setup project,
View->Registry_.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.Software.Microsoft.Office, then add the
entries for Excel and PowerPoint.
Secondly, we need to edit the code of the add-in project. Excel and
PowerPoint do not have "documents". Excel has Workbooks and PowerPoint
contains Presentations. If we need to access the contents of different
Office applications, we need to
1. Determine the current application type by using
Type applicationType = applicationObject.GetType();
string appName = (string)applicationType.InvokeMember( "Name",
BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, applicationObject, null);
2. Call Type.InvokeMember on different Office object models
(

For Excel Object Model, please refer to the MSDN articles in
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa272254(office.11).aspx
For PowerPoint, see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213568(office.11).aspx.
Here is an example about how to build a shared add-in for Word and Excel
for your reference

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.
Sincerely,
Jialiang Ge (
