Will a Microsoft Office Add-In developed in Visual Studio work for both a Windows and Mac ( osx ) versions of Ms Office?

I want to develop a Microsoft Office Word Add-In for Mac Users. I would like to know if we create it using Visual Studios in windows will it be compatible with the Mac version of office or is there a whole another way to develop for Mac?
Please provide links so that I could follow some guidelines. The http://msdn.microsoft.com/site
doesn't exactly speak of the platform compatibility of the Add-In.
Thank You very Much in Advance.

Office:Mac 2011 only supports add-ins that were developed in VBA. Office:Mac 2008 does not support add-ins at all. A
new version of Office:Mac is slated for release in 2015, there have been no announcements as of this writing (December 2014) whether Microsoft will support additional methods of developing add-ins in the new version of Office:Mac.
For further information, check out
Getting Started with VBA in Office for Mac 2011 from the Office:Mac 2011 help files. You might find more assistance in developing Office:Mac add-ins in the
Office:Mac help forums hosted by Microsoft.

    Hi Guys
    i am try to identify the right development framework and technology for developing GUI application which can run on windows and mac osx.

  • Trying to add titles in IMovie. Using IMovie 8.0.6 and Mac OSX version 10.6.8.  When I try to add titles IMovie shuts down.  What do I need to do to stop the shut downs?

    I can not add Titles in IMovies.  When I click on the Titles, IMovie shuts down.  I am using Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 and IMovies version 8.0.6
    Was able to add some Titles yesterday, but had some problems with shut downs.  Today I can not get past clicking on Titles without a shutdown

    DK Flash,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3310 but you have 10.6.8. So this shouldn't apply. But just in case.
    This had to do with the Far Far Away title causing iMovie to quit.
    Try clearing caches and plist.
    Do the behavior persist in a new user on the computer?

  • For about a week now, Firefox will not start unless I re-install it, then it works for about a day and does the same thing. I have gone through all of the fixes

    I am on the current Firefox version. I am running Windows 7 Professional with all current updates, and I run McAfee. As stated, I have tried all of the possible fixes your site discusses and have made sure McAfee is setup to allow Firefox full access. I am not sure what to do. Doing a reinstall fixes it for 12 to 24 hours. There is no message, just does not start and there does not seem to be a process running.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Sharepoint 2010 Remote Development using Visual Studio 2013 Connection Errors

    I have a customer who is using a custom skinned site developed in Sharepoint 2010.
    I am trying to debug a webpart that is not loading on a page.
    My Environment:
    Local Laptop running Win 7 64 Enterprise, Visual Studio 2013, and Sharepoint Designer 2010.
    I connect to the customers network via VPN and use RDP to access the server. I have Admin rights to the server.
    Everything that I have read indicates that Web Part dev has to be done in VS. When I try to connect using server explorer, VS kicks back a 'Server Can not be found' error.
    I have tried using the computer name, the app url listed in SP Central Admin, the IP address of the box, and the actual URL of the site. However, VS can not connect to the server.
    I have done some homework on connecting VS to a remote machine:

    The last connection article is confusing because one of the SO answers indicates that you do not need to have SP2010 installed.
    I have been doing lots of reading on SP structure, and it seems to jump all over the place. (Or at least my research does). I have been reading this Ebook:
    SharePoint 2010 Development with Visual Studio 2010
    http://books.google.com/books/about/SharePoint_2010_Development_with_Visual.html?id=TVKICs4vHTcC
    My questions are:
    Why cant I connect to the Server if I connected through VPN which would inherently make the server a local network computer?
    Do I need to have VS installed on the actual server? I read that I can install Sharepoint Foundation locally and this will give me access to the server in VS.
    Do I need to have the full version of VS installed in order to use Remote Tools?
    For the Web Parts:
    Why cant I see the web parts in Sharepoint Designer? I take it they are exclusively designed in VS, which brings me back to the questions above.
    In Sharepoint Designer, I can see a custom view that was created from a custom list. I want to add that list to the page where the web part isnt working. When I open up the Edit Interface, and try to find that list, it does not display in the 'Lists and Libraries'
    menu

    Hello,
    As per your description, remote deployment is not possible for server side code in sharepoint so if you are using server object model then you won't be able to debug or deploy your solution from visual studio.
    VS is not required to installed on UAT/prod server but you need sharepoint along with visual studio in same development machine to develop any custom webpart.
    Once you deploy your custom webpart on site then you will be able to see that webpart in webpart gallery and that gallery is also available in designer so it means you can also add your custom webpart from designer to any page.
    Correct me if i misunderstood you

  • Developing SharePoint Apps to work on both OnPremise and SharePoint Online

    I have a requirement of developing SharePoint app which should work on both SharePoint online and SharePoint on premise. Is there any restriction on apps which might only work on one particular environment and not working on other. If there are scenarios
    which app can only work on particular environment what are the limitations and scenarios.

    When using the SharePoint Remote API (CSOM/JSOM/REST) and wanting your apps to be usable across platforms you must make sure to reference the correct version of Microsoft.SharePoint.Client and be careful not to utilize features only available in O365.
    There are two version of the CSOM 15 and 16. The 16 version comes with VSTO and has some methods only available on O365, for example Web.GetFolderByID method. If you reference the 16 version and use this method everything will compile but will fail the minute
    you make the call to SharePoint on-prem. You should also avoid using the new REST batch capabilities which are only available in O365. There is virtually no documentation on the differences between the versioned API's.

  • Download a Project file for Visual Studio regarding the Kinect for Windows v2? Getting Started with Kinect Development in Visual Studio

    I am currently trying to make an application for Kinect for Windows v2 but I am entirely new to Visual Studio and Kinect development and could use some help getting started. I honestly have no idea where or how to start and I figured the easiest thing would
    be to obtain a simple project file and examine how it works myself, but I have been unable to find one. The easiest thing would be if I could obtain a project file for Visual Studio that is an application which overlays the Skeletal model over people in real
    time, though similar project files would also be appreciated. The app I am making largely involves things similar to overlaying the skeletal model on bodies so this would get me off to a great start and show me how the code is laid out within visual studio
    simultaneously. (I would prefer the code to be in C# if that is possible but other languages also work).
    I have checked out some of the guides for kinect development but they all assume you know how visual studio works so I cannot get very far in them. Thus if you know of a good guide to get me started with visual stuido AND the Kinect then I would be glad
    to here that as well.
    Alternatively, and I know this is not the right place for this, I have Matlab, which I know works for the Kinect v1 but can't find support for it regarding the v2, so if you could point me in the right direction on how to get it to work with the Kinect v2
    THAT would also work incredibly well as I am much more familiar with Matlab.
    I already have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 installed, as well as the Kinect SDKv2.0, the physical Kinect for Windows v2, and my laptop meets all of the requirements for development so those are not issues.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

    Hi Jicnon,
    Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
    Since this forum is discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. About your issue, I think that it is
    more related to the Kinect for Windows v2, so I suggest you can post this issue directly to Kinect for Windows v2 SDK forum:https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=kinectv2sdk
    ,maybe you will get better support.

  • Integrating Crystal Report 2008 Developer with Visual Studio 2008 Standard

    I have Crystal Reports 2008 Developer version 12.0.0.683 on my computer. I also have Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I know the standard edition of VS 2008 does not have the bundled crystal reports, but since I bought the full version of CR 2008 separately, I figure I should be able to use CR within VS 2008. The problem I am facing is integrating Crystal Reports with Visual Studio, so I can create reports from within visual studio.
    Crystal Reports was installed first and then Visual Studio. As per suggestions on this and other forums, I repaired my installation of Crystal Reports, but that did not help. I then ran Visual Studio integration manager, but when I run it, it only detects Visual Studio as the currently installed IDE, but does not detect CR 2008. I downloaded service pack 2 for CR, but have not installed it yet. I do not want to install it if it is not going to help. I would also like to avoid uninstalling my copy of CR if at all possible.
    I am a newbie at development in visual studio. Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rajib

    Don't want to go against what Jason said as it may be correct - if we go strictly by the documentation provided (sorry Jason, Dan says...). However, here is something to try;
    Uninstall CR. Look for any left overs; c:\program files\business objects\... and delete all of that.
    Look in the registry for HKLM\software\business objects and remove the business objects entry.
    Download CR 2008 from here:
    http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
    That is a trial version and I believe it is already at SP 1. Use your keycode to install. Once this is done, you should have the ability to use CR in .NET. I'd recommend you do apply sp 2 now also.

  • Problems consuming a MII web service using 'Add Service Reference' in Visual Studio

    I can generate a client proxy when I use 'Add Web Reference' in visual studio, but when I try to use 'Add Service Reference', I get an empty stub. We have a product that generates web service client proxy code in a manner similar to that used by the Microsoft 'Add Service Reference' code. We are usually able to consume ASMX web services as well, but currently are unable to consume the SAP MII web service. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Didi,
    I can successfully add a Service Reference and execute an MII transaction with input and output parameters through the Service Reference.  This is using MII14 SP5 latest patch, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 in C#.
    Which version of MII, and which version of VS?
    Can you paste the MII url into a browser and get it to return the WSDL?

    when I'm trying to add files to media, the program is suddenly closed by windows and says that can not find solution to this problem...

    Hello Wyodor,
    thanks for your reply on my question.
    You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
    And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
    Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
    No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
    and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
    But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)

  • How should an application developer handle Adobe AIR upgrades on Windows and Mac?

    Hi,
    My questions concern Windows 7 (and later) and Mac OS X:
    Is Adobe AIR upgraded automatically? In other words, by default (if the user does not uncheck something during installation), is there a service/polling mechanism that checks for a new version of Adobe AIR and recommends an update to the user?
    What happens if a user has an older version of Adobe AIR installed, and my application requires a more recent Adobe AIR version? Do I, as an application developer, have to do something or is it handled by Adobe AIR automatically?
    Have Adobe AIR introduced many backward compatibility issues in the past? Is it possible for a user to have multiple versions of Adobe AIR installed at the same time? Can I, as an application developer, specify that this exact version of Adobe AIR is needed by my application?
    If there sometimes are backwards compatibility issues with Adobe AIR. Is there a way for me as an application developer to try out a new version before it is released to the normal users? In other words, is there a way for me to make sure that my application works with the next version of Adobe AIR before it is released by the normal channels to the general user base?
    Is there something else which should be taken into consideration when it comes to Adobe AIR upgrades and versioning issues?

    Well we would suffer especially much from two of the drawbacks listed at Packaging a captive runtime bundle for desktop computers:
    The AIR in-browser API for installing and launching an AIR application from a web page is not supported
    AIR update API and framework are not supported
    We are using the Air application as a solution for printing, which is invoked using the AIR in-browser API when the user clicks the "Print" button. I would guess the route to make it work with a captive runtime (which was something new to me), which I see as a normal stand alone application, would be to register a specific MIME type with the OS and each Web browser which is handled by our print application. And let a file of our new MIME type contain the information passed in the in-browser invocation at the moment. That would trigger the application when a user clicks Print.
    We also use the AIR update API to update our application. Being without it means that we would need to create our own update mechanism.
    These two paths to handle the given drawbacks above would mean a lot of work for us. Especially as we want to support both Windows and Mac. It might be worth it if the answers to my questions in the original post indicates that we can expect another type of problems instead.
    I am still interested in answers to my original questions. But we will certainly take the captive runtime approach into consideration. As I didn't know about it, I really appreciate your answer!
