6/23

• I worked on trying to program some XML retrieval things using Linq.
• I need to figure out how to run the queries that are also a feature of Linq.
• Looking into how the Word XML structure is set-up and what needs to be done to get out the tags that the users will put into the document.
• I am reading over the book about Linq and what can be done with this library.

6/24

• I looked over information about Visual Basic and how to use this to create macros.
• When I looked through a few of these resources I found tutorials to build add-ins to word using VB and C#.
• I worked through some of the tutorials to see what options were available to create toolbars.
• I am learning how to incorporate add-ins to Office programs using C# and what options are available there are.
• I am looking more into macros being able to search text for formatting options and need to be able to find out how to make the work to tag a document.

6/25

• I spend most of the morning working through more of the add-ins using Visual Studio. There is an add-in wizard that set-ups the interfaces and methods to create a class to create buttons and menu options.
• I need to find out how to better debug or better, what the problem is where I can use the add-in for Excel but am getting errors in Word which makes Word disable the add-in and I have to create another add-in to get it to work.
• I also started looking over more C# libraries and what is available to create more text searches and automation using macros.
• I want to try to use a C# program to search through the text and find highlighted, italicized, etc. text to be able to make that become tagged automatically.

6/26

• I worked on macros and looking over Visual Basic commands and information.
• I am able to find text the has a certain format and change its format but I can't figure out how to select that text and add a TEI tag around that.
• I have been looking over more of the information about VB but I haven't been able to find solid documentation or tutorials about using the methods outside of recording the macro and then looking through the code.
• I need to read more over if C# could be used to resolve this and if I would be able to find formatted text, select that piece which can vary in length or could be a phrase, and then be able to place a tag in that location and have that text be inside.

6/27

• I am still looking over the function of a macro and if this is going to be possible.
• I know the process of selecting the formatted text and then having keyboard shortcuts to place tags would be something I can put together in time but being able to do this automatically is still something I haven't been able to see how to do.
• I have found information about launching macros using C# but being able to directly access what is inside the current open file has been something I haven't found information about yet.
