MSDN Evening on Office 2007 Client Programmability
There is a lot of talk about the new user experience available with the forthcoming Office 2007 client products.  But this is not the only innovation in Office 2007. Office 2007 introduces a whole set of new extensibility scenarios for both power users as well as for professional .NET developers.

Join this session to get a 2-hour overview of the most important techniques. We will start with the innovations at the level of the file format. Storing our documents as ZIP/XML-based files will enable plenty of new business scenarios. Then we will show you the new ways of storing XML data into Word documents and use the new content controls to bind to this data. Visual Studio Tools for Office 3.0 is the environment for .NET developers for extending Office 2007 clients both at the document-level as for the application-level. We will cover the building of smart documents for Word and Excel and the creation of (cross) application-level add-ins extending the user experience with custom ribbons and custom task panes. To conclude, an overview on the new ways of extending Outlook 2007 is on the agenda covering the consolidated object model and extensions via form regions.
