[More] forward manner. The core project was originally created to shield developers from having to write 80-90% of the same code, again and again, when directly consuming the .wsdl files provided in the Groove/Office SDKs. Since then the core project has been updated to add features/functionality to allow the creation of robust enterprise integration applications, given that the same web services that exist for the Groove client also exist for the Groove Data Bridge server.

word2003toolbar4word2007

DescriptionThe Microsoft Word 2007 Ribbon is new to everyone who has used Microsoft Word 2003 or an earlier version. There are some solutions out there to install a classic version of the buttons, but I'd rather not pay for them. So, I made my own. ... [More] Screenshotshttp://indiswe.googlepages.com/word2003toolbarforword2007 old: new: Linksfor your perusal from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163469.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338202.aspx Notes1) This comes with no support. I made this a while ago and have forgotten what steps I took to do this. I've installed this on a total of 4 computers and it has worked on all of them. 2) I only made a classic toolbar for Word 2003. I have no plans on making one for Excel or Powerpoint 2007. 3) You cannot further customize the Classic UI. That is, buttons and groups cannot be added, removed, or moved. 4) The width of the toolbar works best with screen resolutions higher than 1024 wide. 5) If you don't have the full install of Microsoft Office 2007, this Classic User Interface might not be enabled when you start Word 2007. I forget what additional thing needs to be installed (part of the Office portion of the installer, not the Word portion), but if you full install it will work. 6) The actual Word 2003 style toolbar will be installed as the first tab (not the last as in the picture). 7) If you are not seeing it, check to see if it installed correctly: click the big round MS Office button at the top -> Word Options -> Add-Ins -> COM Addins "GO..." -> look for "Word2003Toolbar" and if it is checked. If you check it and it still is not loading, the problem could be that the correct Office 2007 feature is not installed (see #5). UninstallTo uninstall completely, go through Add and Remove Programs and look for "Word2003ToolbarSetup". To deactivate in Word 2007, click the big round MS Office button at the top -> Word Options -> Add-Ins -> COM Addins "GO..." -> uncheck "Word2003Toolbar". It will then not load on startup. (Go to Official Webpage for pictures). p.s.I'm not sure what kind of license I need to select, or how much code I need to publish, but I will include the install file and the xml language that was used to make the template (as a text file).
