Compiling a template ('.dot') into a '.wll' add-in

Youri

Hello,

Does anybody know the compiler to use for creating
a '.wll' add-in for Microsoft Word from a template file ('.dot') ?

Many many thanks!

Do you mean DLL?

If so, then VB (not VBA) makes dll. However, it does not actually take a .
dot file and make it into a DLL. You have to actually create the DLL in VB.
You should, though, be able to copy over a fair amount of code to the DLL
project. But be careful, and make sure you debug to the nth degree. There
ARE some differences that have to be accounted for.

WLL's are written in C++. You could use the Visual Studio Express C++
edition.
