I am trying to load a Excel file in Excel online. By loading a file I mean lets say I receive an Excel file from a service which I need to show on the current workbook. The file location can be a url or any folder in my site. Excel.run(function (context) { var workbook = context.workbook; //workbook.load or something ? } Add-ins are scoped to the document and are intended to extend the functionality of the Office application, not as a mechanism for opening documents themselves. What you're describing is what WOPI is intended for. The WOPI protocol provides an interface between Office and the

I'm writing a PowerPoint content addin using Office.js API. I need a way for each instance of that addin to determine the index of the containing slide, or, if this is impossible, the visibility state of the addin (i.e. whether the containing slide is currently visible on screen). The documentation suggests no API specifically intended for this purpose, so I've been using the following method: Upon addin initialization (inside Document.initialize callback), request currently selected slide using Document.getSelectedDataAsync method. Since addin cannot be initialized until it is visible, we can

I am no programmer in this field. We had an addin built on VSTO framework, which works for all Windows Outlook applications. Recently, we built O365 addin and it solves our problem of distribution to Mac. However, the existing Windows Outlook users see two different addins. Is there a way to detect if Outlook windows addin already installed through O365 addin or vice-versa? Unfortunately, there is no functionality to detect COM/VSTO add-on installation or enumerate installed add-ons from Office.js API.

Summary : window.Open('') or window.Open('about:blank') works with JavaScript in a normal html file as can be tested here . But it does not seem to work in an Office.js add-in. Details : On my Windows 10 desktop with VS2017 I created this Office.js WORD add-in project that works perfectly with my Microsoft Office Home and Student 2016 edition. In the same project, I then created a new button btnTest in the home.js file. When I click btnTest it successfully calls the following MyTest method and opens a new window with window.Open('some URL') . But in the same MyTest method when I call window

I would like to insert a hyperlink to the task pane of my add-in, and I want this link to open support.html page in a default browser. <a href="https://example.com/support.html" target="_blank">Support</a> However, the above code opens support.html page inside the task pane. Users may not know how to go back to the main page of the add-in. Does anyone know how to open the page in a default browser of users? (By the way, is it recommended to launch something outside the add-in? If not, what's the common UX design for the help page?) You can open a new browser window from an Office Add-in via

I'm looking for a Javascript equivalent of the Excel VBA Intersect method. I need to find the active cell table. Basically everything I do with tables is based on which table the user currently has selected. IIRC, there is currently there is no way to do this directly. So what I'm trying to do is basically this: Get the selected range (still not perfect, as I really only want the ActiveCell , not the Selection ). Get the worksheet. Loop through all tables on the worksheet. Check each table and see if the selected range is in the table range. I've monkey'd around a bit, and this is what I

I developed an Outlook Web Add-in that is working fine. It's a Taskpane that is available in compose mode of appointments and that collects event's data, adds a few ones and send that all to an API somewhere. What I would like to do now is to subscribe the authenticated user to the Outlook Rest API in order to get notified when the event is deleted. The subscription call should look like this one: POST https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/subscriptions HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json { @odata.type:"#Microsoft.OutlookServices.PushSubscription", Resource: "https://outlook.office.com

I have created a taskpane addin for word that runs a search and displays information about the results as a list to the user. When the user clicks on an item in the list I want to select the range in word to show the user the location of the item. The addin will then allow the user to perform additional tasks on the range, for example change the font colour. I am able to run the search and get ranges for display using the function below: function runSearch(textToFind) { var items = []; return Word.run(function(context) { var options = Word.SearchOptions.newObject(context); options
