Office Add-Ins (Word)/Templates/Excel?

[DMc2004]

Hi

Currently trying to develop some Addins/Templates for Microsoft Word.
Basically I am having problems with getting the ideal functionality that I
would like to use.

I am using Microsoft Office 2003 Professional and Visual Studio Tools for
Office 2005 on a Windows XP Professional System.

I know how to create templates within Microsoft Word and also know how to
create Add-Ins for Microsoft Excel using VBA.

My first question is why can you code events with Add-Ins with Excel, for
example as soon as the workbook opens you activate a form. But with Templates
within Microsoft Word none of the Document_Open and AutoExec events seem to
work?

My next question relates to Visual Studio Tools for Office. I have tried to
develop an Add-In for Word and when I try to register the DLL I get the error
message:

demo.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.
This file cannot be registered.

What exactly is wrong?

To have something happen when a document is created from a template, the
macro needs to be named Autonew. Or, in the Document_New event.

This is okay but....

In an Excel Add-In i could create a custom prodecure that could create a
toolbar as soon as the application starts and and customises itself to the
users profile. ie hiding buttons that are not needed, using dots I can not
seem to do this. (even placing in the Startup folder.

Certainly can. See the article "Toolbars and Word 2007" on fellow MVP
Graham Mayor's website at:

http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm

Don't be put off by the reference to 2007 in the title. The article
contains detailed instructions for creating toolbars in earlier versions
(which can then be made use of in 2007.
