Is a VSTO application considered a macro as far as office is concerned? In other words, will macro sensitive antivirus software give me trouble? And will the Word trust Center settings need to be changed to allow macros?
Thanks.

A VSTO app is totally different from a VBA macro, and should not trigger any macro-related warnings. A macro is a script attached to the document; simply opening an office document could trigger some potentially harmful VBA code, without warning to the user. By contrast, a VSTO app is a .NET app which needs to be explicitly installed and accepted by the user on his machine.
