Under continuous construction
Over the years, I've built up my knowledge of some of the inner workings of the MS Office Suite. I've built (and continue to build) a number of new tools for Word and Excel using VBA. Here, I'll share some of what I've learned, including the code and how-to instructions. My hope is that this will be a useful resource for others who are trying to learn VBA.
Although most of the tools here are straightforward code, some of them require the creation of a7:32 AM 9/16/2009 form in VBA,
which takes longer, requires more VBA knowledge, and can just be a big hassle. Tools marked with
include the creation of a form.
