Word 2007 Tip of the Day: Enable the Developer Tab

OK peeps, as notes to myself, and to help others who frequently ask, I'm going to try and just post a Word tip of the day on a regular basis. (Not every day, let's not get carried away now.) If we're dealing with something genuinely cool, maybe we'll even give it a Tip of the Hat, and if it sucks, a Wag of the Finger. To Start:

Tip #1: Enable the Developer Tab

1) Goto The Button

2)Click Word Options



3)Check the box: Show Developer Tab in the Ribbon



4) Click OK, and Boo-Yaa!



Goto the Developer Tab and Enjoy!

The plan is to use this space to capture interaction with Word documents through the Word 2007 UI as well as to provide C# and XQuery examples of how to manipulate these docs on the Server or in an AddIn.
