Sir/Madam
I wish to suggest an improvement option about MS-WORD/MS-EXCEL.
When we wish to create new WORD/EXCEL file, we right click on old file and select NEW option from it then both old & new files are open.
1. I wish to improve it as only open New file(Blank file) but not old.
2. I also suggest another improvement as if we bring/put the cursor on a file (WORD/EXCEL/IMAGE) then the content of that file i.e first page/first half page will appear as a flash i mean file not open until we click

At the moment Word runs Add-ins in IE11

IE11 doesnt support ES2016, and is therefore much harder to develop for than all of the other newer browsers (Safari, Chrome, Edge).

Word should run Add-ins in Edge

When insert a web add-in (taskpane app) to Word, the taskpane will display on the right of the document as default. I see there is a property called dockstate in XML. Can you provide a function to set the value to make the taskpane display on the left of the document?

insertFileFromBase64 method throwing error if any emebeded object is linked to the word document

Please, add Start and End properties to Range object, like in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.word.range.start.aspx

Need a Change Tracking API in Word.

Hi,

Could you add functionality to create Word comments via the Office API?

I know have a proof of concept, named Feedback+, in the store where we create comments into a word document. But this has a bug. It creates a paragraph everytime someone creates a comment in the document.

Thanks,

JW

Saving a document with an add-in panel open, saves the add-in along with the document.

The next time the document is opened the add-in opens with it. If the add-in is not installed it will be suggested to the user.

In cases where an add-in generates content for the user the add-in may not be meant for user's clients in which case it would be great to have this functionality as either opt out or opt in.

At present, if there are tracked deletions within a word, that word will not be found by search if either MatchWholeWord or Wildcards are turned on. This is a bug in search, but it is especially crucial to fix for add-ins.

At present when we need to change the bitmap in a picture, we need to delete the existing picture (shape) object and then insert a new one. And when doing so we need to cop all the properties of the picture across.

Just like we can presently change the position, seize, etc. of an existing picture, provide the ability to change the bitmap.

The user is using a Mac and Lexis for Microsoft Office. User insert a Table of Authorities. There are 30 ‘Id.’ citations in the document attached. The 1st Id. citation (in the below list) is the 120th citation in the document where the Word Api takes time to search and find their ranges. The time taken to process these 30 ‘Id.’ citations alone took 30 minutes approximately. The same delay in Windows platform was not significantly noticeable when compared to the MAC platform.

In vba/vsto i store prebuilt tables, Toc fields, frequently used text, etc as building blocks - makes it easy for the user to create consistently formatted documents. I cant see any way to access and insert a building block yet.

As we know, using Word.Body class, we can get html from body or a section of an Active WORD document. We want to manipulate that html (based on our business needs) and then display it on a browser. But in an office.js add-in window.open() does not work on a dynamically generated html as explained in the following two posts: https://stackoverflow.com/q/53027657/1232087

I cannot think of any reason why this limit was added – and it means Word presently does not match the DOCX spec.

We need this to use it as the associated text we would set is a database select - and that easily runs over 64 chars at times.

Word Add in features need to be enhanced to have ability to resize Task Pane in Word online, Mac and IPad.

Mac and iPad also has limited resize ability and hence taskpane resize is needed

Clicking on hyperlinks in Word Add-in opens up IE browser
eq. <a href="http://example.com&quot; target="_blank"> then the window is IE.

It would be better if it would be default browser (as users are usually only logged into web portals with their default browser)

Currently, No Support to access Footnotes and Endnotes using JavaScript API. Please add support for search in foot notes and end notes.

• Looks like bookmark support is being introduced in Word API 1.4
• This is currently available in Insider Preview builds and beta version of Office.js.

Please let us know when will this be available in production
