Scoble sits down with a few of the members of the Office 2007 Extensibility team: Eric Faller and Savraj Dhanjal. Their technology allows developers to build new types of apps on top of Office 2007. Get the details here (as always )
I made a couple of mistakes in the demos. Here are explanations:
1. When I was saving the Word document after modifying the XML file, Winzip was saving the file without subdirectory information, so it didn't actually update the file I edited (that's the error message it was popping up which I kept closing). If Winzip had
actually saved the file correctly, it would have worked.
2. When I recorded the macro and attached it to a toolbar, I recorded the macro into Normal.dot, but attached the toolbar to the current document. When I moved it to the other computer and clicked the button there, it was finding and running another "Macro1"
on the Normal.dotm on that computer, which I had created while practicing the demo. So the fact that the button appears to do something different on the other computer is technically correct

From what I understand after watching this if I want to dynamically customize the toolbar from code I have to pass XML?
XML is good for somethings but this is bad.... I want to be able to work directly with objects from code, not have to construct some bizarre XML string just to add a button to the toolbar!
