THIS Ccontrol is the EASIEST control in the world to control functionallity in ANY word type application. Without giving a CRAP what version of office the client pc has on it... the SAME JAVASCRIPT code cab be used to: 1. Load a document.... FROM ANYWHERE... local file... no problem.... web server (including SSL)... no problem 2. Save a document.... AGAIN ANYWHERE... 3. Render the ACUTAL APPLICATION WINDOW within a control and have FULL Access to Menus and Toolbars (WHICH IS NOT possible just writing the application/msword mime type to the browser which in turn invoke the office application in your brwoser window... but you have no control over that application instance yet alone the activedocument nor a reliabe way of saying WHAT toolbars you want accessable and just forget about an actual menu) And the Grand Daddy of them all.... ANY Code i hade in my older automation (working with bookmarks and doing mail merges) can easiy be ported to javascript using the very simple Automation Support (IDispath)... Note: I work with Dispatch Pointer in C++ and C# All the time, being able to say something like: var wordDoc = OA1.ActiveDocument; wordDoc -> Do anything i want here in javascript with the document without any Header files, or interop assemblies or anything.... Just me and my javascript code.... SO SWEET! NOTE: I worked with Word Automation for years using MANY different versions of Office Primary Interop Assemblies… THIS Ccontrol is the EASIEST control
