Thank you, Marty!
What your wrote about is good but a different story: these PIAs are the
.NET shells/wrappers allowing to create COM-Add Ins, MS Office
Automation and related applications and utilities in VS.NET...

I'm looking how to do in MS Office 2003 what is described here for MS
Office 2000 and MS Office XP Developer Edition:

How To Create Office COM Add-Ins by Using VBA and Office Developer
 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306130

Is that possible at all in any of MS Office 2003 Editions?

TIA,
Shamil

P.S.
