Microsoft Office 2000/Visual Basic Programmer's Guide

Integrating Office with the Web

For the first time, Microsoft Office 2000 seamlessly integrates Office desktop productivity with the ability to share information across an intranet or the Internet. Microsoft Office now contains a set of Web-publishing tools that enable users to manage information instead of documents. In addition, HTML is now a standard Office file format. Developers who need to enable Web-based information sharing and collaboration can use the new Web technologies in Office 2000. Chapter 12, "Using Web Technologies," gives you detailed information about HTML, Dynamic HTML (DHTML), scripting, the Microsoft Script Editor, Microsoft Office Web Components, and Microsoft Office Server Extensions.
