Default Word 2007 - styles combo-box add-in (Office 2007 COM Add-In UI

Yes, I work regularly with Office 2003, but I've installed - for testing and
adapting purposes - Office 2007 Beta to my place and I notice sometimes
differences between my usual manner of working and the UI of 2007.

One question: Displaying current styles using an add-in will be the position
of Microsoft after the official release? Will Microsoft adopt the
add-in-fashion to work in some cases - let's say "particular cases", even I
consider them not particular?

Rather odd. Check my webpage again for the latest version. Maybe that
solves the issue?
Do you open Word 2003 regularly?

Thank you it is geat - but it falls off my toolbar when I exit Word 2007.
So I have to reinstall it back? Most odd.

But nice add-in.

As some have already found out, Word 2007 doesn't offer an efficient way
of working with styles as the good old Styles combo box that showed the
currently active style and let the user choose a different style didn't
make it into Word 2007. I wrote Word 2007 add-in to get that combo Box
back.
The add-in also serves as my example on how to write a COM Add-In that
customizes the Office 2007 Ribbon UI. As such, I provide the full C#
source code. I will post a VBA.NET version soon as well.
The blog post which details the implementation and has a link to download
the add-in is at http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/06/14/21
