Hi Kathleen,

A little tip for your blogreaders. On my blog I added the tip to search for new SP1 documentation: http://blogs.officezealot.com/maarten/archive/2008/08/14/21142.aspx

Basically search for "SP1 feature change." as the SP1 documentation is 'flagged' with this tag in the History Table.

BTW, are you planning to update your VSTO for MM book to work with VS08?

Thanks Maarten -- yes the Change History table is a new feature we recently added to our documentation to help customers easily see updates in our documentation; not just for SP1, but for any updates we publish -- I was going to blog about that next :)

There are no plans to update the VSTO for Mere Mortals to VS 2008
