Default Documentation on programming Excel from Vis. Studio StandardEdition.

I've written a VB.NET app using Visual Studio 2008, Std. Edition. I
want it to create and write to an Excel 2007 file. I have it doing
most of the operations I want it to do. This article by Ken Getz gave
me enough information to get started.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ffice.11).aspx

But there are others operations I need, like setting column width,
that I can't find in that paper and all the other documentation I find
for automating Excel is for users of Visual Studio Tools for Office
which comes only with VS Pro Edition. Looks like the principal way to
automate MS Office is by using Visual Studio Tools for Office. Yet
clearly some of it can be done with VS Std. Edition because I've done
it.

My question is: other than the article I cite above, where can I find
a clear statement on what I can do with Office 2007 from VS Std Ed?
Is there no documentation for VS Std Ed users?

Thanks.
