Word 2007 Event Handling

[Daniel]

Hi,
Is there any way to handle the event when user starts typing
text in word document? or when a new word was created?

I'm writing an add-in which sync 2 words on different machines
over Internet.

What's API I can use for it?

Thanks!

There is no Word event that does this. The closest you can get without using
Windows key hooking is the Application SelectionChange event - which
probably wouldn't be close enough for what you suggest.

Hi Tony,

thanks for reply!

I agree with you, but what do you think how these guys
could do such awesome integration with Word 2003?!!!!

And SelectionChange does not fire on typing in letters. We have this
same requirement and never found a great way to solve this. It is
weird it doesn't fire as the selection point chages as you type - but
it doesn't fire and that's it.

I don't know how they do it for sure but, as I said, key hooking can be done
in Windows, although that looks like it would need a lot more than that
unless it imposes constraints on what the users can do. There are probably
people here who can give you better information - I don't know enough to do
so myself, although it does look interesting enough for me to find out a bit
more if I can.
