Writing 32-Bit WLLs for Word for Windows NT

• Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

SUMMARY

You can create add-ins that interact directly with Word for Windows NT by using a 32-bit compiler (such as Microsoft Visual C++ version 2.0), the Microsoft application programming interface (Word API), and the tools provided on the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition" disk. Appendix C of the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition" manual discusses the concepts, tools, and methods for programming Word add-in libraries.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Word linked libraries (WLLs) written for Word 6.0 for Windows will also work with Windows NT, but only when used with Word for Windows (16-bit Word). In order for such a WLL to work with Word for Windows NT (32- bit Word), you must recompile the WLL with a 32-bit compiler. Use the CAPILIB.C and CAPILIB.H files included with the "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition," and modify the .DEF file to remove the IMPORTS section.

The "Microsoft Word Developer's Kit, 2nd Edition" includes Word for Windows NT and Word for the Macintosh information.
