JavaScript API for Office
Published: February 26, 2013
The JavaScript API for Office includes objects, methods, properties, events, and enumerations that can be used in apps for Office created for the Office 2013 versions of Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Project Standard, and Project Professional.
The Microsoft.Office.WebExtension namespace (which by default is referenced using the alias Office in code) contains objects that provide functionality for working with apps and content in Office documents, worksheets, presentations, mail items, and projects programmatically. This API reference documents those objects and their members.
