I found an interesting article on the Visual Studio Tools for Office SE and Microsoft CRM: Joris Kalz, Microsoft CRM specialist, shows a video on his blog that demonstrates the possibilites of an integration of Office 2007 and Microsoft CRM by utilizing the VSTO SE.
In this demo Microsoft Word 2007 has a Task Pane that enables the user to lookup data from the CRM (e.g. a proposals) , insert them into a word template and attach the generated file either as XPS or PDF file to a note of the regarding CRM entry. This looks very cool. The next consequent step towards integration of CRM and Office, would be to put the generated file in a sharepoint document library and link from the CRM entry to all regarding files.
