I am working on web add-in for Office 365.
This add-in would be used by enterprises.
I have already implemented mail merge for Word desktop version, and now I am trying to implement the same for Word online.
Does Microsoft has provided support for Mail Merge in Word online?
I got some link says that mail merge is not supported in Word online but there were no clue which indicates whether document is latest one.
effectively mail merge objects are not available in the Word JavaScript API, however this is a great ask. Make sure to add/vote for it #uservoice

I've updated an outlook addin with a new version of th manifest file on the microsoft partner center.
It has be deployed on marketplace and appsource with the version updated.
But the update is not delivered to the clients computer on oulook and owa.
Does someone have encounterd the same issue?
How much time does it take to update on clients computer?
Thx
It can take up to 24 hours to roll out the new add-in / manifest file. Here is what MS states for that in MSDN:
It can take up to 24 hours for a new add-in deployment to show up for all users. It can take up to 72 hours for add-in updates, changes from turn on or turn off to reflect for users.
See How long does it take for add-ins to show up for all users? for more information.
Many papers are archived in Arxiv.org. A lot of them might also have version histories. But it seems we can't get the update information for one paper when it is updated. Does github support the version history for pdf files? Maybe github can provide the version control for Arxiv.org.
Does GitHub support the version history for pdf files?
Not directly, in that it cannot display diff.
You would need an external diff like diffpdf for that.
Maybe github can provide the version control for Arxiv.org.
Right now, GitHub is not used by Arxiv.org. Their "new" page mentions in 2008:
We have implemented version control for papers submitted prior to November 1997 in the same way as for papers submitted later.
In 2011:
Bulk data available on Amazon S3: The bulk data available for download from Amazon S3 has been extended to include both PDF and source files of the latest versions of all arXiv articles.
I know that Gerrit is well suited to do Code Reviews.
As want to move from existing tool to git/gerrit where word documents also need to be reviewed. Currently in-house review tool supports documents like word.
Whether is it possible to review documents like MS- WORD ( word ) document in gerrit with ease.
If not or difficult to review with word document , whether is it possible to integrate in-house tool in Gerrit and / or direct for certain file-types to use a different tool?
While I agree with #StephenKing that this is not what Gerrit is made for, you can slightly facilitate reviews with certain types of files by adding the mimetype section in your gerrit.config, for example
[mimetype "application/msword"]
safe = true
This will allow to directly download docx files during review (and possibly, compare them locally). By default, when downloading a file from Gerrit, it creates a zip archive from it and makes it more difficult to compare & review.
Unfortunately, it seems that there is currently no way of viewing docx files in a browser. But if you set for example safe mimetype for pdfs, you can simply compare them in browser with gerrit.
While possible in general (as you can checkout the change and open the document), this is not what Gerrit is made for. Gerrit is made for text files (mostly source code) that can be diffed.
I'm new to Visual Studio Online and trying to create custom work item types and custom workflow. I can't seem to find any documentation or anywhere in the UI that allows you to defined these items. Anyone know how this can be done.
As of January 2016:
Process Customisation is supported in VSTS, details can be found in this blog post.
Before January 2016:
It can't be done at the moment, however, there are internal Microsoft teams using customised process templates on Visual Studio Online.
Expect this to change later this year (2015) - keep an eye on Brian Harry's blog.
The best you can get at the moment is using Tags and customise the Kanban boards.
If you really want this feature, vote on the Visual Studio User Voice request for it.
Is there a way to copy a SharePoint 2010 site (not site collection) that keeps the workflows attached to the lists and libraries?
I've used the Export-SPWeb/Import-SPWeb tools in PowerShell and it copies everything (groups, workflows, lists, libraries, content, etc.) but my workflows are not associated with the document library they are associated to on the original site and are also not linked to the Tasks and Workflow History lists.
Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something?
Is there no way to do this?
Or, most likely, do I not have enough experience with SharePoint to know the right questions to ask of the Google?
If they are code workflows, I would suggest to package them as solution and redeploy on the target server. If they are sharepoint designer workflows, check the solution mentioned in the below links:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en/sharepointworkflow/thread/05ebe908-9574-401b-8baf-21ddcf5d8edf
I have similiar problem. I export using Export-SPWeb and upon import on the same site collection and new web I am missing all Tasks. I've noticed the custom list is missing the workflow also.
The workflow was developed in VS.
You mention:

How and what do I package?
