Newbie. My first office addin

[Victor Cazacov]

Hi, I have almost no .NET experience, no Office development experience and need to program Word addin that runs with version 2000 and higher.

Good news is that addin is very simple and I have enough time for RTFMs.

Where can I start from ? Which technical articles do you recomend to read ?

Is there any step-by-step guide how to develop "hello world" addin for the Word2000 using Visual Studio 2003 (C#) ?

regards,
Victor

Thanks David, your article helped me a lot. Waiting for Part II.

How can I implement search-like dialog ? When my form is active, user wants to have ability to switch back to document and edit or scroll it, but my dialog must not go to background. Something like TopMost property, but local only to the Word application.
