Word Object model

Question

I'm looking for a usable and complete object model for Word 2010 as graphic, as a map.

(Travelling around the world, I found that maps are handy. Better than a written description how to get from NY to LA ;-).)

I found http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb288731(v=office.12).aspx but that one is unreadable in my browsers.

Answer 1

sorry, you were clear. But finding object models is not easy, that is all I had on hand that provided the content in an alternate format without googling, which you can do for yourself.

You can print using a PDF printer driver, or the built in XPS driver, or even the OneNote "Send To" option.  In your browser with the page displayed go into File / Print and select the appropriate PDF printer driver.  That will generate a PDF (or XPS or OneNote).   It will probably still be unreadable, just in a different way.  But then you can use a pair of scissors and tape to create your map <grin> . 

Personally, I find that graphical view useless, it is just too spread out and the small type is too small to read.  To each his own.

Answer 2

@Rohn007,

Thanks for paying attention to my question.

But I tried to be loud en clear:

• I'm looking for something like a map, chart, a graphic of the object model.
• these text versions are of no use (like a written instruction how to get from NY to LA).

Upto and including Office 97, there was a reliable graphic in the help.

The 2003 version makes me wonder. And from 2007 and further ... nothing.

Two questions to you:

• what do you mean by / how can I print that rubbish web-page to PDF?
• how do you yourself 'picture' the Word object model (parent-child-...-property-value)?

Here is a text version of the Object Model: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff837519.aspx

Have you tried printing that graphical view to a PDF?
