MS Word already has a comprehensive scripting extension system, it's called Visual Basic for Applications. It's been in there since at least Office 2000. It gives you programmatic access to nearly everything in the application you're scripting.
- chrischen 17y agoOk I didn't know that. So to rephrase my comment: I bet most of those features in MS word can be replaced by it's scripting system.
- revorad 17y agoMost Word users don't know scripting and have no desire to learn scripting. Or they would be using LaTeX.
- chrischen 17y agoYes, but the community can develop the extensions for various purposes instead of Microsoft developing everything. That's what I meant. Obviously most word users don't know scripting and don't care to learn.
