How to develop Sharepoint Webpart using Visual Studio 2013 - visual-studio-2013

I am trying to develop a WebPart for Sharepoint 2007, currently i am using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, but the oldest version is sharepoint 2010.
I have tried to find 2007 templates under Tools-> Extensions and Updates but i am unable.

Sharepoint 2007 is not supported in Visual Studio 2013 , but is you manually update the project to Sharepoint 2010 tehn it may open that up..

Visual Studio 2015 RC Outlook reference

I'm trying to add the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook reference to a project in Visual Studio 2015 RC. But it doesn't appear in my current installed references. I've found some additional installers for Office Developer tools, but these all require Visual Studio 2013 or lower. Has the installer for Visual Studio 2015 been released yet? Or is there any other way to send an e-mail via Outlook in Visual Studio 2015?
I had the same problem and after a search I found the below link:
Latest Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2015
I clicked and installed
Go grab the latest version with aka.ms/GetLatestOfficeDevTools.
Now I can see
Microsoft Outlook 15.0 Object Library
Hope it helps.

Developing Excel 2007 Document-Level Solution in Visual Studio 2013

The Visual Studio 2013 documentation does not list Excel 2007 as one of the versions supported in the document-level customization solutions.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa942839.aspx
If I go the route of a document-level customization solution I will need it to be able to be deployed to Excel 2007 because that is the version of Office the users will have.
Do I need to develop in an earlier version of Visual Studio to get this to work? - or can I develop Excel 2007 document solutions in Visual Studio 2013? If so, will I need office 2007 installed on my development machine?

Can I create an Outlook 2010 add in in Visual Studio Professional 2013?

I have just installed Visual Studio Professional 2013 and wish to write an add in for Outlook 2010, however there is only an option to start a new project for an Outlook 2013 add in. When I search for more templates under the web option I can not find what I want. Is there a way to create an Outlook 2010 add in without installing a different version of Visual Studio? Or will a 2013 add in work in 2010?
At the New Project dialog, first change the .NET Framework target version to 4.0. Combobox at the top of the dialog. You'll then see the Office 2010 project templates as well.

storybord in powerpoint 2007

I have MS Office 2007 installed on my PC. I want to use storybord for designing but I am not getting Storybording menu in PowerPoint.
I have searched and found that to use Storybording I have to install visual studio on my PC.
I have installed Visual Studio 2010. I am still not getting Storybording option on it.
On my college lab PC, there is PowerPoint 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 is installed and PowerPoint is having storybording manu.
Is any specific adding required for Storybording with PowerPoint 2007 ?
There is no need to install any plugin for Storybording but the reason why you are not getting Storybording menu is because of your visual studio is not having that functionality.
To get Storybording in PowerPoint, you should have following prerequisites :
1) PowerPoint 2007 or later, and
2) One of the following versions of Microsoft Visual Studio
Microsoft Visual Studio 11 (2012) Test Professional
Visual Studio 11 Premium or
Visual Studio 11 Ultimate.
Your Visual Studio version is older then these.
