How Add-in Express can ease creating Word add-ins in Delphi

Add-in Express for Office and Delphi is a VCL class library that allows you to:

  • Create Word Add-ins supported by Word 2021 - 2000.
  • Add your own command bars and controls such as submenus, toolbars, buttons, etc.
  • Control any built-in command bars and their controls including the main menu and pop-ups.
  • Customize the Microsoft Word Ribbon UI and Backstage View.
  • Handle Word events such as BeforeDocumentSave and BeforeDocumentClose.
  • Develop smart tag libraries for Word.

Add-in Express uses the Word.Application object (as an instance of TWordApplication) to provide access to all Word objects and events.
