April 25, 2018:

• Initial version: basic React based UI framework is in place. Binds text in the document to Smart Clauses. Introspects clauses to create templates (in progress).

• Microsoft Word 2016

Note: installation from the Microsoft Marketplace will be possible once the add-in is published to the web. For now you need to manually install the add-in as described below.

1. Clone this repo using Git.
2. Open a Node.js command prompt in the root folder of the project.
3. Run npm install to install all dependencies.
4. Run npm start to start the project. A browser window opens showing a partial UI.
5. To see the full UI, open Word and sideload the manifest.

cp cicero-word-add-in.xml /Users/<NAME>/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Documents/wef/

If the wef folder does not exist you need to create it.

To activate the task pane:

1. Launch Word
2. Press the "Insert" tab
3. Press the down arrow to the right of the "My Add-ins" button
4. Select the "Accord Project" add-in
5. Press the button to open the task pane and activate the add-in

• JavaScript APIs used in this project to interact with the objects and metadata in a Word document

You can use two sets of JavaScript APIs to interact with the objects and metadata in a Word document. The first one is Common API and the second one is the Word JavaScript API.

For this project we are using Common Api. It is a strongly-typed object model that is used to create Word add-ins that target Word 2016 or above.
