Word

The io.Connect Word Adapter enables apps to use Microsoft Word as a document editor. The @interopio/office library provides client APIs to your interop-enabled apps which they can use to interact with Word via the Word Adapter. The app sends document text and images to Word in the form of HTML and the user can edit it by using a familiar text editor. When the user saves the changes, a new HTML document is created and sent back to the app to display and store in the backend where it can be properly secured and audited.

• The HTML document is sent to the app every time the user saves the document.
• Images may be embedded within the HTML of the document, as long as they are in one of the following formats: PNG, ICO, BMP, or JPEG.
• Embedded objects, such as images, charts and spreadsheets, can be added to the Word document, but these will be converted to inline HTML images before they are returned to the app. However, the original objects can be preserved in Microsoft DOCX format and can be saved to the backend so the user can edit the document later.
