I am working on a Office Word add-in for Word 2003. When I reopen the project, the VS2008 auto covert dialog box opens and tries to convert it to the Word 2007 format.
How can I reopen this file and keep it in the Word 2003 format?
Right-click the Start button in Windows and choose Programs and Features. In the list of installed programs, select Office 2007, click Change and then choose the Repair option. Was this reply helpful? Sorry this didn't help. Great!
Check out the new Office Add-ins model. Office Add-ins have a small footprint compared to VSTO Add-ins and solutions, and you can build them by using almost any web programming technology, such as HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3, and XML.
To display each error in a message box, create an environment variable named VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS and set it to 0 (zero). You can suppress the messages by deleting the environment variable or setting it to 1 (one). To write the errors to a log file, create an environment variable named VSTO_LOGALERTS and set it to 1 (one).
Soft disabling can occur when a VSTO Add-in produces an error that does not cause the application to unexpectedly close. For example, an application might soft disable a VSTO Add-in if it throws an unhandled exception while the Startup event handler is executing.
Got a answer over at MSDN Forums
This is the default behavior when you have Office 2007 installed on your development computer. You can modify this behavior under Tools->Options. For more informaiton, see the following threads:
