Hi bear007,

here, I want to inform you that Office 2007 is getting old now and it is possible that in future Microsoft stop provide support for Office 2007.

I suggest you to try to use another latest versions of Office.

you need to use Visual Studio, in which you will get templates to develop an addin.

you can download the community version of Visual Studio , which is free.

Visual Studio Downloads

you can install and use same Addin on Multiple versions of Office.

all you need to do is to install Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime on that machine.

Reference:

Running Solutions in Different Versions of Microsoft Office

to develop a Word Addin, you need to refer Word Object Model.

in which you will get list of Methods, properties, code examples , descriptions. it will help you to fulfil your requirement.

Word Object Model Overview

Deepak
