I need to create a very small add-in for MS Word 2007 which needs access to a database. I’ve read around the ‘net that it is possible to write the usercontrol in WPF/C# (which would help me a lot) and host it inside a Winforms host.

But I need to get started – anyone know some good resources?

What I need information about:

  • How to go about deploying the thing
  • Requirements – can I use 3rd party dll’s – do they need to be signed etc.
  • Security – am I limited to sandboxed security? Do I need to go WCF or can I access an SQL server directly?
  • Getting started with the Word object model

Thanks in advance!
