Hi,

i have downloaded VSTO 2005 SE from the microsoft website. It's possible to
develop document based programs with this version or only application based
programs? When not: what do I need for document based programs?

best regards
Jan

VSTO 2005 SE works only for application-level add-ins. For document-level
customizations, you have to buy the full version of VSTO 2005 (the "first
edition"). There isn't a free download for that, because it's a full edition
of Visual Studio. There's more information about VSTO 2005 here:

Kathleen McGrath made a short video about the differences between VSTO 2005
and VSTO 2005 SE that you can watch here:
