Office Newswire: Office news you can use! – 2.15.2012
Ty Anderson | February 15th, 2012
Sometimes it's a struggle to find fresh developer items. This is expected given Office 2010 is no longer the center of attention due to our clamoring for more Office 15 details. Those details will arrive soon enough. For today, we have some solid items for your consideration.

Add-in Express vs. VSTO: Version neutrality for your Office extensions
Pieter van der Westhuizen | February 14th, 2012
I have to be honest. I have become very spoiled with Add-in Express when it comes to Microsoft Office development, a fact that I once again realized after a discussion with the gang about Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) and Add-in Express... Read the rest of this entry →
Add-in Express vs. Visual Studio Tools for Office
Pieter van der Westhuizen | February 9th, 2012
Almost four years to this day, I wrote about the new Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) available in the latest release of Visual Studio 2008. I've also later posted an update that I've found a much more efficient way of developing for Microsoft Office; and that way was of course Add-in Express!... Read the rest of this entry →

Outlook 2010 Solutions Module revisited
Pieter van der Westhuizen | February 2nd, 2012
It's been a year and seven months since my first article about the Outlook 2010 Solutions Module. Time sure flies when you're having fun. Since I first wrote the article, I received numerous comments and questions about the Outlook 2010 Solutions module, mostly on how to programmatically add items to it... Read the rest of this entry →
Video: Create an Office shared add-in – connecting business logic to Office events
Ty Anderson | January 26th, 2012
On Tuesday we published Part 3 of the end-to-end demo. Today, we have Part 4. In reality parts 3 and 4 can be taken together but we thought it's better to break them up a bit and provide a bit of a break. But we have momentum now so let's keep this train a-moving because Part 5 is almost ready for its debut as well.... Read the rest of this entry →
Office Newswire: Outlook & SharePoint integration, Business Connectivity Services – 1.25.2012
Ty Anderson | January 25th, 2012
SharePoint is a 'document coffin', says IBM. In this lead new item, the author reports a bunch of words from IBM's VP of Social Software. With these words, this gentleman makes a ridiculous argument and successfully garners a few headlines about IBM's social and productivity software... Read the rest of this entry →
Office Newswire: The Office Ribbon secret decoder ring – 1.18.2012
Ty Anderson | January 18th, 2012
I'm just thinking out loud here as I write today's Office Newswire. There are lots of rules I create to help me focus as I write. But one rule that is sacrosanct is that the Newswire is written in a steam-of-conscience manner. A surprising good week for Office news and opinions. I have, of course, offered my thoughts and opinions about the items below

Office Newswire: Microsoft & CES, Office on the iPad news – 1.11.12
Ty Anderson | January 11th, 2012
It seems all the news regarding Office is the result of other companies creating apps that work with Office files and run on the iPad. Mind you, these are not Office for the iPad as many of the article authors below state.

Office Newswire: Strategies and tools to stay organized and productive in 2012 – 1.4.2012
Ty Anderson | January 4th, 2012
I spent the better part of my week do just that as well as thinking through 2012. I don't do the “New Year's Resolution” thing but I do set my sights on some items I want to achieve. It sounds like resolutions doesn't it? The difference is resolutions tend to be specific… narrow. My objectives are broad and set the tone for the entire year. They act as an umbrella that sets the scope of my activities... Read the rest of this entry →
Office Newswire: Office + iPad – 12.16.2011
Ty Anderson | December 16th, 2011
I have an old tablet PC. I downloaded Windows 8 Developer Preview and installed it on the tablet. I like it but it is quirky. I'm looking forward to the next iteration of Windows 8 (and the next iteration of Office!). In the meantime, I'm wondering just how far behind Microsoft will be in the tablet wars when they release Windows 8 and the next generation of Office... Read the rest of this entry →

Andrei Smolin | December 14th, 2011
Let's consider the case then the user replies to an Outlook e-mail from the context menu. First off, you can reply to one item only; that item is selected or right-clicked in an explorer window or is opened in an inspector window.... Read the rest of this entry →
Office Newswire: Is Office dead? Developer news, tips and tricks – 12.9.2011
Ty Anderson | December 9th, 2011
Last week I shared news of rumors that Microsoft plans to release an Office version for the iPad. I remain skeptical, but hopeful, they will do it. After all, as Bill Gates often says, Microsoft "is a software company". If they are a software company, then they should work to have their software on every platform and devise possible...

Office Newswire – 11.18.2011
Ty Anderson | November 18th, 2011
This post starts with a mind map...a diagram that attempts to document what went through a person's mind as they brainstormed or went through a series of tasks. In this case, the mind map is from one of my favorite blogs which typically covers the sport of baseball... Read the rest of this entry →
