The SCC MediaServer MS Word Integration Module is a Windows COM Interface that provides safe access to the SCC MediaServer database system via custom and third-party applications.

The interface includes a complete set of programming functions necessary to read, change, and update object attributes in the database. Any application compatible with the Windows COM standard, including those written in Visual Basic, can use the MS Word Integration Module as a bridge to MediaServer.

Customizable User Interface
One valuable role played by this module is as a bridge between Microsoft Word and MediaServer for use at sites where Word is the preferred text editor, and that demand a customized user interface, and furthermore want to be able to continue to customize the interface as their workflow evolves.

Sophisticated customizations to the Word environment are possible with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), the scripting language incorporated into Word.

The application designer is able to design an interface focused to the end user's task, including designing layouts to display text data, creating custom menu items, special operation buttons on toolbars, dialogs prompting users for data entry and automatically analyzing edited data for errors or non-conformities before saving. In addition, powerful tools incorporated into Word are available to the user, including the spelling and grammar checker, thesaurus, the "Save As Web Page" feature, and the extensive layout and editing features.

Requirements
The Microsoft Word Integration Module supports Microsoft Word 97, 2000 and 2003 for Windows. The SCC MediaGrid client is required to locate and launch the objects whose attributes are to be edited inside the Word application.
