Multiple Version Add-In

[Suzette]

I am working on designing some Add-In's for Word. So far it has gone well
except I can't figure out how to make it work for multiple versions. Is
this even possible?

I am working with Word 2003 so while building the Add-In, I reference the
Word 11 Object Library. Also, the AddInDesigner is pointed to Word Version
11.

The add-in works fine on my machine but on a machine with Word 2000 it will
not work (Wrong Library and reference). Is it possible to make it
versionless. The code in the add-in will work with all versions back to 97.
Currently I have all the code in a single .DOT file but it has gotten
ridiculously large so I'm trying to break it into several add-ins.

Thank you

Suzette

Hi Suzette.

Write it in and for the oldest version of Word that you want to work with.
It is much more likely then to work with subsequent versions. You will still
need to test with the newer versions, because different versions do behave
differently in some interesting ways...
