Hello forum users,
This forum was created for the Innovate on Office 2007 program in Dec. 2007. The original purpose of the program is listening to the feedbacks and suggestions about Office 2007 so that we can improve our product.
The program has ended in Nov. 2009, which Chaitanya-MSFT has announced in the following thread, http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/innovateonoffice/thread/4fc4c293-513d-495e-907e-e3f59d02e716.
However, there are still many questions/topics raised everyday about the Office general programming in this forum. So, in order to meet this need of the community, we are creating a new forum titled “General Office Development” that will round out the Microsoft Office for Developers Category on MSDN. As part of this change, we will archive the old “Innovate on Office” forum so that it is read-only, though moderators will be able to move particularly helpful/relevant threads and any new unanswered threads from the old forum to the new.
For general Office development questions and/or questions that don’t fit in the current Access, Excel, Outlook, Word, Open XML, or Visual Studio Tools for Office forums, please use this new General Office Development forum going forward.

The LightSwitch team is proud to announce the release of the LightSwitch HTML client in Visual Studio 2012 Update 2!
Users of the previous CTP4 release should be able to upgrade with no problems. Users of the older Preview 2 please read these important upgrade instructions before installing Update 2.
The new HTML5 and JavaScript-based client is an important companion to our Silverlight-based desktop client that addresses the increasing need to build touch-oriented business applications that run well on modern mobile devices. We’ve also enabled support for the new SharePoint Apps model, so you can now also build SharePoint 2013 apps with LightSwitch.
Check out all the great resources to learn more:
Developer Center – We’ve got a refreshed website with new HTML client resources and tutorials. The Developer Center is your one-stop-shop for the best LightSwitch team samples, videos, articles and documentation. Start with the basics or go deeper and explore the architecture and hosting options of LightSwitch apps.
How Do I Videos – We also have started a new “How Do I...?” video series that shows you step-by-step how to get started building HTML clients with LightSwitch. Keep tabs on this page as we’re planning a lot more!
JavaScript Samples – We also have created some JavaScript snippets that show you how to achieve many common coding tasks on the HTML client. If you’re new to JavaScript, these snippets should help!
Ask questions in the General Forum – Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the previews! Now that we have released, we will continue our conversations in the LightSwitch General forum. The team is listening there.
