Why not to use Visual Studio 2003 (.NET Framework 1.1) for developing Office extensions
March 18th, 2010 by Andrei Smolin
We insist on not using .NET Framework 1.1. Why? Because there is a high probability that an Office extension developed with this .NET Framework version will break down other Office extensions developed in higher .NET Framework versions... Read the rest of this entry →
Office Alarm – Office Live Add-in and Word 2003
May 1st, 2009 by Eugene Starostin
Strange things mentioned in my previous post continue to happen. To the bug successfully fixed in the Office Live Add-in on Excel 2007, there's added a nasty and so far no-solution problem with the same add-in, this time on Word 2003... Read the rest of this entry →
Office Alarm – Excel experienced a serious problem with the ‘microsoft office live add-in’

Hint: How to completely reset Outlook regions
April 29th, 2009 by Eugene Starostin
When Outlook is closing, Add-in Express saves the state of all regions embedded into Outlook, namely their position (if drag-and-drop is turned on), state (regions can be minimized or entirely hidden) and size (if resizing is allowed). We implemented this feature just to give end-users the utmost comfort when working with Outlook regions... Read the rest of this entry →

Complete review – Advanced Outlook Regions, part 3
April 22nd, 2009 by Eugene Starostin
Part 2 of the Advanced Outlook Regions series, which focused on Outlook Explorer and Inspector regions, ended with the promise that there would be no pictures in the upcoming post, instead it would touch on rather unobvious, rarely used, but highly interesting stuff.

My previous post was about what the Advanced Outlook Regions really are. And now I will show you all possible regions for two main Outlook windows - Explorers and Inspectors.

Complete review – Advanced Outlook Regions, part 1
April 15th, 2009 by Eugene Starostin
Our web-site somehow absolutely imperceptibly for me turned into a collection of pages containing a bit outdated information about our products. I think we will spend the whole year 2009 on putting our web-site in order. In the meantime, I am going to systematically publish complete reviews of one or other of the capabilities that, in my opinion, are covered insufficiently or their descriptions are outdated. And I will start with perhaps the most popular feature of Add-in Express - the Advanced Outlook View and Form Regions... Read the rest of this entry →

Add-in Express 2009 – Beta 1 what’s fixed
March 2nd, 2009 by Eugene Starostin
As compared to the previous generation, Add-in Express 2009 doesn’t contain revolutionary changes or enhancements.

March 2nd, 2009 by Eugene Starostin
As early as in July 2008, in version 4.2 we added beta support of three rather specific regions: FolderView and ReadingPane for the Outlook Explorer window, and InspectorRegion for the Outlook Inspector window. Since then we have fixed a couple of bugs, but didn’t go through with it to announce these regions 100% complete... Read the rest of this entry →
