Making a Plug-In for Word/WordPerfect...
-
Hi. Just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. This is the kind of thing that I want to do: I have a template for word for a sheet of stickers (typical Avery deal). I want the user to click a button/select from a menu and get a dialog (this is all happening in Word or Word Perfect(?)). In the dialog they enter text of their choice (TEXT) and a number range (START# and END#). Then the user clicks OK and the rest is magic. In other words, the stickers on the template will go something like: TEXT START# TEXT START#+1 TEXT START#+2 TEXT START#+3 ... TEXT END#-1 TEXT END# Make sense? My question is this, how do I start this project? The actual programming will not be a problem, I just don't know how to integrate it into Word AND I don't know if it is possible to integrate it into Word Perfect. I have Visual Studio 6.0 and am fluent in C++, familiar with Visual Programming and MFC and willing to pick up Viz Basic. I'm just not clear on setting this project up from the start. In a nutshell, I would prefer to do this with Viz C++ and would like to make it work for Word and Word Perfect. Any advice? Thanks! Tym!
