    Ok, this is cool. If you have been playing with Microsoft Office 2007 Betas, you can now get the most recent CTP of the VSTO office tools to build applications leveraging Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.

    The June 2006 Community Technology Preview of Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office "V3" is now available.The primary goal of this CTP is to showcases several new important investments in the area of Office programmability.
