I don't have any documentation for Word VBA. Is it available for free
on the Internet?
Jezebel - 31 Jul 2006 23:20 GMT
The basic documentation is built-in -- in VBA use the Object Browser and
Help. If you put your cursor in any keyword -- in code or in the Immediate
window -- and press F1, you get the documentation for that keyword. Apart
from that, there's the entire MSDN library on the Microsoft site.

There are two parts to the documentation you need --

1. VBA as a language. This is the same for any application (that is, Word
VBA is the same language as Excel VBA or CorelDraw VBA, etc).

2. The object models for the application you're dealing with. In this case,
Word and to a lesser extent Office (which handles the menus); plus any other
libraries you choose to add to your project.

Besides what's in the Help and the Object Browser, there are the
so-called IntelliSense popup lists of methods and properties you get
when you type an object's name followed by a dot. These are the most
convenient sources of information.

The content of the Help files is also on line in the MSDN site. Start
at http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/reference/vba/default.aspx and
select the program and version you're interested in.

Also look at the FAQ pages on the site in my signature.

See the article "Getting To Grips With VBA Basics In 15 Minutes" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/VBABasicsIn15Mins.htm

and other information on that site.

See the Visual Basic Help File.

Thanks Jezebel, Jay, and Doug. You've all been very helpful. My
education in the wonderful world of Word VBA programming has started
off with a bang!
