FAQ
Asked first, every time.
Don't see yours here? Send us the question — a principal engineer will reply within 24 hours.
Yes. By using the modern Office JS architecture, the add-in is inherently cross-platform and works on Windows, Mac, and Word on the web.
Absolutely. We specialise in migrating legacy COM/VSTO add-ins to the modern web-based Office JS architecture.
Highly secure. We use Azure AD for SSO, secure OAuth2 flows, and HTTPS encryption. The add-in respects your existing Microsoft 365 security policies.
Yes, we handle the entire AppSource submission process, including security validation, marketing assets, and compliance checks.
We utilize the Word API's `HeaderFooter` objects, allowing us to programmatically search, replace, and format text or insert dynamic images into headers and footers across different document sections.
Yes, we build custom task panes that connect to secure legal databases. Lawyers can search for approved clauses and insert them directly into the document at the cursor position with exact formatting intact.
While Office JS can create and populate tables, manipulating highly complex, irregularly merged, nested tables can be difficult and slow. We optimize this by generating clean HTML tables and inserting them via OOXML.
We build the add-in's frontend exclusively using Microsoft's Fluent UI React library, ensuring buttons, dropdowns, and typography automatically match Word's native aesthetic, including supporting Dark Mode seamlessly.
Currently, the Office JS API has limited native support for programmatically generating a dynamic TOC field. We bypass this by injecting custom OOXML directly into the document body to construct the TOC.
We optimize performance by minimizing `context.sync()` calls, utilizing `TrackedObjects` carefully, and using search capabilities to jump directly to relevant sections rather than iterating through thousands of paragraphs.
