Microsoft Word Integration

Hi,
I developed a spellcheck for MM5 and while it works, I'll be honest, and it works some of the time at best. I have scoured for a better solution and there is none to be found for a desktop solution. In MM4, we could integrate our add-ons with Microsoft Word by using their VBA API and objects. From what I understand that integration has been restricted in MM5. Can I generate interest with the MM developers to provide that functionality? I have beer :lol: :roll: :wink:

Hi,
as you are already familiar with MM5 scripting, a brief look at https://www.google.com/search?q=online+ ... javascript sound promising research.

Main problem is that we not restricted, but limited usage of VBS/VBA in MM5+ Scripting due the platform limitation and MM5 is step closer to Multi Platform enviroment.

Hi Pele,
Thanks for the suggestion....been there, done that, and tried most, if not all of them. Either I couldn't get them to work, they wouldn't work, were to restrictive in their functionality, or weren't free.

Update: Added weren't free.

So does that mean that we won't be able to integrate with Microsoft Office?
