Hi,

I created an Office project in Visual Studio 2005. I wrote a SmartTag application and I saw that a dll-file was build. Now when I write some text at the automatically from Visual Studio created Word file the Smarttags are running wonderfull.

But how I can implement the smarttags to a new Word file which I created in Word without Visual Studio?

Hi M :-)

I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly: You used VSTO 2005 to create a project (Word document or Excel workbook) that implements Smart Tags. When you open these, the Smart Tags work correctly - all is good.

Now you'd like to create a SmartTag solution that works across the Word application? You can do this, but not using VSTO. You'll find the SmartTag SDK, starting here

It will be a bit different than using VSTO's SmartTag functionality; you'll have to do a bit more work. One of the reasons for VSTO is to make things easier for the developer, such as implementing the COM interfaces for you in the background. But the basics of how SmartTags work remains the same :-)

Hi,

thanks. Aha so it means when I want to create many Word documents with SmartTags and diffenrent contents I have to build a WordTemplate project? Is it correct?
