Can anyone suggest a good Word 2003 book that covers VBA and the various
aspects of developing custom code, form, etc within Word 2003. Looking for
something that explains coding techniques specific to 2003 and not just
general VBA from previous versions as I am looking to improve the
functionality of a complex template but only need to support 2003 and up so
would like to make use of new abilities within it where possible.

If you find a book like that, please do let me know. :-)

There are no "coding techniques" specific to 2003. The VBA language in
2003 is pretty much the same as in 2002 and 2000.

There are new objects, properties, methods, and events, many of them
dealing with XML support or with new items in the options dialog. You
can read about them here:

New properties:

New methods:

New events:
