Dependencies for creating Office 2010 vsto

[Jack21]

Hi - Can anyone help?

I am looking to create a Word 2010 vsto project and am unable to get started! I am using Visual Studio 2008 and cannot seem to get access under "Project types: Office" to Office 2010 Visual Studio installed templates. Is this due to the fact that Office 2010 vsto projects can only be created in Visual Studio 2010? I have downloaded some obvious dependencies around VSTO runtime etc but no joy.

Thanks
Jack

For Office 2010, you need VSTO 4.0, which comes with Visual Studio 2010 (Professional Edition or higher).

VSTO 3.0 in Visual Studio 2008 supports Office 2007 but not 2010.
