A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

Javascript – Commands-Only Microsoft Word Add In

I want to make a Microsoft Word add in that only introduces XML commands in the manifest; that is, it does not need a task pane. Is this possible? Are there any examples of what that might look like, or alternative means of doing this? I cannot see any examples here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/develop/create-addin-commands.

    Yes. You can do this. Here is an example manifest for a Word add-in that only has a function command; no taskpane.
