Please see the screenshot at https://ibb.co/jz0Uj8 You can see the blue icon displayed on the Word document near the status bar.

Is something like this possible using add-in express?

Actually, in this case, the blue icon can be moved around and places anywhere on the border of MS word.

However, I dont need this my icon to move around. I am just looking to display something similar to that anywhere on the word through add-in express.

Any suggestions?

Hello Sean,

Neither Add-in Express nor any Office object model provide a means to achieve this. You need to use Windows API to create such an icon: create a layered window, position it as required, put an icon it, and track the underlying window in order to reposition or hide the layered window when needed. If you prefer someone to solve this task for you, consider using our Custom Development Services; see the contact form at https://www.add-in-express.com/custom-development/index.php.
