SUMMARY

The CAPI and the creation of WLLs are only supported through the Office Developer Consulting Line, which provides consulting services at a rate of $195 per hour. The consulting line can be reached at 800-936-5200. Support is done on a call-back basis.

Questions regarding the CAPI and WLLs can be posted to the Microsoft Internet Newsgroups at

NOTE: The Microsoft Word Developer's Kit includes MAPI Extensions (WBMAPI.DLL) and ODBC Extensions (WBODBC.WLL). These add-ons are examples only and are not supported by Microsoft, as documented in the beginning of the Appendixes in the third edition of the Microsoft Word Developer's Kit.

WLLs are add-ons to Word that are typically placed in the <Winword>\Startup folder. WLLs are basically renamed DLLs that offer faster add-on functionality than what WordBasic offers.

The Microsoft Word Developer's Kit includes two extensions to Word:
