Is the macro language for Word XP any different than the macro language
for Word 2000? If so, then what are the differences?

Thanks.

There are a few things (events for example) that were introduced in XP that
are not available in 2000. If you are developing something to be used in
both versions, you should do it in 2000.

Strictly the *langauage* is the same - VBA6 - but different from VBA5 in
Word 97. What is different is Word itself and there are quite a few changes
to the Word Object Model reflecting changes in Word. In theory I believe
everything that worked in 2000 should work in 2002 - but not the other way
round.
