Microsoft Office clients enable developers to create add-ins that extend Microsoft Word with custom functionality. Through a JavaScript API, developers can manipulate the content in a Word document from an app running in the task pane.
In this module, you'll learn how to build a Word add-in that inserts (and replaces) text ranges, paragraphs, images, HTML, tables, and content controls. You'll also learn how to format text and how to insert (and replace) content in content controls.
This module is also published as a Microsoft Learn module: Build Office Add-ins for Word
