title: VSTO 2012: backward compatibility
body: <p>Since lately the <strong>Visual Studio Tools For Office 2012</strong> (VSTO 2012) are <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/somasegar/archive/2013/03/04/now-available-office-developer-tools-for-visual-studio-2012.aspx" rel="nofollow">available for download</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Can this new version still used for developing Add-In solutions for older Office versions (2007,2010)? Are there any advantages over VSTO 4.0 (besides Office 2013 support)</p>
