Abstract: In this paper, we have approached a high interest research topic regarding the development of customized Office solutions by designing and implementing a Component Object Model Add-In (COM Add-In) for repurposing the controls' default actions and states and for extending the features offered by the Office suite. In the introduction, we have presented a brief overview of Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) and its evolution. In the second section, we have developed a Word 2013 Add-in using VSTO 2013 and repurposed the default actions of the commands in Word 2013 using VSTO 2013. In the third section, we have developed a solution for extending the default features of the Office 2013 suite by programing in VSTO 2013 an extension to the existing Ribbon bar. The developed extension implements a new customized tab-menu, a customized group containing a customized menu and a toggleButton element. The customized menu contains three checkBoxes for controlling dynamically the state of the Bold, Italic and Underline controls, while the toggleButton dynamically controls the visibility of the existing Tab elements.
