Office 97 is not an application but a development platform!
Office 97 은 단순히 워드나 엑셀같은 업무용 응용
프로그램을 모아둔 제품이 아니라 간단한 - 경우에
따라서는 복잡할 수 있습니다만 - 사무용 프로그램을 쉽게
작성할 수 있는 개발용 플랫폼으로도 사용할 수 있는 아주
응용할 부분이 많은 제품입니다. 예를 들어 엑셀의 기능을
프로그램상에서 구현하기 위하여는 상당한 투자가 필요할
것이나 Office 기능을 이용한다면 엑셀에서 만들어 붙여
사용하기만 하면 되기 때문에 만든 제품의 안정성및 시간
절감등을 생각하면 엄청난 효과를 볼 수 있을 것입니다.
업무용 프로그램을 만드시는 분이라면 아래 내용을 찬찬히
읽어보시기 바랍니다.
Office 97 Migration for Developers and Network Administrators
Making the Move to Office 97
The Office 97 Developer Forum (http://www.microsoft.com/
officedev) is now featuring White papers and technical
articles for developers planning to migrate their solutions
to Office 97. The migration effort is not without issues
and these papers are an effort to ease the transition for
developers. Please refer people interested in migration
issues to this site. We will continue to update the site
with additional articles (including migrating from WordPerfect
to Word 97--Whitepaper and tools) and sample code. As of
Monday, the site contains the following:
Microsoft Outlook 97: Interoperability with Microsoft Exchange
Client, Microsoft Mail, and Microsoft Schedule+
This paper focuses on interoperability across Microsoft e-mail
and group scheduling applications, and on coexistence issues
that can affect users, administrators, and application and
forms developers.
WordBasic Migration to Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Word 97 now includes the Visual Basic for Applications
programming language and environment. WordBasic code is
automatically migrated to Visual Basic when the file is opened.
This white paper explains the conversion process, many of the
known conversion issues and solutions to resolve conversion
issues.
Wordbasic to VBA Conversion Table
This excerpt from the on-line help file found in Office 97
provides a quick reference guide for Microsoft Word
developers to locate the Visual Basic for Applications
equivalent of WordBasic commands.
Migrating to Microsoft Access 97 Q&A
This question and answer guide introduces some of the new
features of Access 97 and addresses questions on
compatibility with previous versions of Microsoft Access.
Office 97 Resource Kit
The Microsoft Office 97 Resource Kit (ORK) is a technical
reference for installing, configuring, and supporting
Office 97 in the workgroup. This beta version of the ORK
provides valuable information for deploying Office 97.
* Coming Soon: (note: these papers should be available by end of week)
Migrating Solutions to Microsoft Excel 97
Microsoft Excel developers will find that Excel 97 is a major
upgrade of the product, with a greatly enhanced development
environment and forms package (Microsoft Forms). Great efforts
have been taken to minimize the conversion process from previous
versions of Microsoft Excel. This document provides developers
both a conversion guide and reference document for migrating
solutions to Excel 97.
Migrating Solutions to PowerPoint 97
With PowerPoint 97, developers can create forms, modules, classes,
and CommandBars to completely automate presentation construction
and slideshows. This whitepaper is to identify changes in the
PowerPoint 97 object model that may affect custom automation
solutions created for use with PowerPoint 95.
Replacing API Calls that Manipulate Menus
Developers who previously relied on API calls to control and
modify menus can now take advantage of Microsoft Office Menus
and Toolbars. This article from Ken Getz provides pointers and
examples for developers moving from API calls to using the
CommandBar object model.
NOTE: we will be featuring guest articles from high profile
developers currently involved in migrating solutions (such as
the one from Ken Getz above) to provide useful tips and guides
from developers planning to migrate their code.
