MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / January 2007Vista Word and VBA + (.NET)
I understand that VBA will be in Vista Word. Will .net programming be in it too, and will we be able to choose to do macro recordings using .net? Can we have some macros in VBA and other macros in .net? Word 2007 itself does not have any .net features of that sort.  SignatureEnjoy, Tony >I understand that VBA will be in Vista Word.

Sol, don't get too excited about .Net and Office just yet. :-) The only connection between .Net and Office 2007 is the "Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition" package (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/office/aa905543.aspx). It does not create macros, and it does not support recording of any kind -- you have to program it and compile it. There's a lot more information there and at the "developer portal" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718673.aspx. Also, note that there's no such thing as "Vista Word"; it's Word 2007, which is part of Office 2007.

Hi Jay I¹m not too excited about it, just wanting to get as much information as possible. And I think I have that now, thanks!

Hi, for what it's worth - I can confirm that even complex VBA programs run fine with Word 2007. You only have to set Word 2007 to accept running macro-driven (VBA) programs, because its security is a one step more strict than previous Word versions. Compilation (producing a COM addin) is not a must, plain old uncompiled VBA does fine, and is very fast.
