Microsoft Office clients enable developers to create add-ins that extend Microsoft Word with custom functionality. Through a JavaScript API, developers can manipulate the content in a Word document from an app running in the task pane. In this module, you'll learn how to build a Word add-in that inserts (and replaces) text ranges, paragraphs, images, HTML, tables, and content controls. You'll also learn how to format text and how to insert (and replace) content in content controls.
Microsoft Office clients enable developers to create add-ins that extend Microsoft Excel with custom functionality. Through a JavaScript API, developers can manipulate the content in an Excel workbook from an app running in the task pane. In this module, you'll learn how to build an Excel add-in that inserts (and replaces) text ranges, tables, charts, and dialogs.
Microsoft Office clients enable developers to create add-ins that extend Microsoft Outlook with custom functionality. Through a JavaScript API, developers can access and edit the contents in an email or calendar event in Outlook from an app running in the client. In this module, you'll learn how to build an Outlook add-in that will render buttons in the compose message window, implement a button that invokes a function, and implement a task pane that inserts content into the body of a message.
Office Add-ins can access information from anywhere on the internet, whether from the server that hosts the add-in, from your internal network, or from somewhere else in the cloud. If that information is protected, your add-in needs a way to authenticate your user. Office Add-ins provide many different methods to authenticate using single sign-on (SSO), depending on your specific scenario. In this module, you'll learn how to implement single sign-on (SSO) and call the Microsoft Graph in Word, Excel, and Outlook add-ins.
