Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0 Macros 
User's Guide and Technical Reference

The leading document processing software for the Windows' operating system
can be made more powerful than ever with MICROSOFT WORD FOR WINDOWS 2.0
MACROS--the complete guide to the WordBasic macro language from Microsoft
Press.

WordBasic is at the forefront of a new generation of macro development.
Unlike macros that are simply a recording of keystrokes, Word for Windows
macros are recorded in WordBasic, a full-featured programming language
built right into the program.

Author Russell Borland, a former member of the Microsoft Word for Windows
product-design team, teaches the fundamentals of macros and WordBasic in
this example-packed guide. Readers with no prior programming experience
learn how to customize and enhance Microsoft Word's "out-of-the-box"
features to boost their productivity. Practical sample macros demonstrate
the use of WordBasic statements, functions, variables, branching and
looping, arithmetic, string manipulation, debugging, and user-defined
functions and subroutines. MICROSOFT WORD FOR WINDOWS 2.0 MACROS is a
complete guide to creating macros and a complete reference to the
language--including a crossreference by function--all under one cover.
Chapter summaries throughout the book reinforce concepts and review the
reader's progress. A comprehensive index helps readers quickly find
information on any topic in the book.

Plus, the accompanying disk contains document templates of more than 50
ready-to-run macros. With a double-click on a macro name, a user can
instantly copy the macro to a selected template on his or her hard drive.
Here's a sample of what the disk-based macros can do:

* Start the Calendar program in Windows, open a personal 
  daily itinerary, and print the day's meetings and tasks
* Insert crop marks to prepare pages for printing and binding
* Insert text and page number cross-reference with appropriate
  directive text
* Insert copies of column headings for tables that continue 
  on the following page
* Perform one of five arithmetic calculations on table rows 
  or columns
* Use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) to link Word with 
  Microsoft Excel
