OfficeWriter Designer .NET was introduced in version 8.6.= 0 of OfficeWriter. It is a completely rewritten version of our Excel Design= er add-in using more modern technologies than the existing OfficeWrite= r Designer. The OfficeWriter Designer .NET is written in .NET/C# = using VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office). It has no dependence on COM or= VBA. The new Designer .NET has better platform support (i.e. 64-bit Office= ) and is more robust. However, it does not yet support all of the features = found in the original Designer. Additional functionality will be added to f= uture releases of the Designer .NET.
