Overview

The Microsoft Word Developer's Kit provides the technical information and tools you need to build practical solutions in and around Microsoft Word quickly and easily. You'll find everything you need to customize the operation of Microsoft Word, write powerful macros to streamline routine tasks, and build cross-application custom solutions. The Microsoft Word Developer's Kit contains complete documentation and program samples for writing simple or complex macros - even full applications - with WordBasic, Microsoft Word's built-in programming language. For novice and advanced developers alike, the kit covers the full scope of WordBasic, from the fundamentals to more advanced topics, such as working with custom dialog boxes, debugging, and using Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE). A comprehensive reference section includes the WordBasic language, A to Z; error messages; language differences across the various versions of Word; operators and predefined bookmarks; and a language summary. Appendixes thoroughly discuss workgroup extensions, ODBC extensions, the Word API, and AppleScript.

Written by insiders with intimate knowledge about Microsoft Word, this one-stop source provides all the technical information and tools that users and developers need. Spanning all platforms, the kit includes information on Microsoft Word for Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, and Apple Macintosh systems. Includes two disks.
