Code often gets line wrapped in the Newsgroup forums, thereby causing a
mistake if taken literally in the VBA editor.
Two ways to make learning easier are to hit the F1 function key when the
cursor is in a word in the VBA Editor to bring up contextual VBA Help; and
to single-step Run through the code using the F8 function key and pausing
every once in a while during single-step Run mode to hover the cursor over
different words in the code to see if any tooltip info pops up.
You can also use Debug windows to watch variables as they change, etc.
As you may have noticed when you manually type in code, the VBA Editor will
prompt you with choices to make things faster each time you type the full
stop or period between words.

Yes, I did notice how the VBA editor works
However, it is like learning a language which is why I have been unsuccessful
As a former Word MVP one of the perks was free software and I have a copy of
Visual Basic here as well as several books. I get to a certain point and get
stuck!

Here's another place with free online learning.

They will soon reopen a course in basic programming this month.
If you sign up and give them your email address they will notify you when a
particular course will reopen, if not already available.
