RE: new Office VBA and VBScript editor app with 4-part audio tutorial series

Sure . the first file is at:

http://home.comcast.net/~acorange/scripting/office vba tutorial part1.mp3
<http://home.comcast.net/~acorange/scripting/office%20vba%20tutorial%20part1
..mp3>

Note that this file name has spaces in it.

The last file name ends with part4.mp3

It's easier just to download the app and use the app menu to listen to the
tutorial parts (you don't need Word to listen to the tutorials).

Hth,

Chip

Chip,

Could you let us know the web site where your MP3's are stored? the

Best wishes,

Hi all,

I've released an update (version 2.6.0) to the Office VBA and VBScript
Editor app (which allows you to create VBScript apps using the MS Word VBA
development environment).

I rewrote the documentation (turning it into a complete tutorial on use of
the app), and then I recorded a 4-part audio tutorial series, and placed
links to each mp3 on the app's menu (hosted on my web site). It also now
creates a set file for the VBA environment and links it to the Word set of
set files, and automatically sets the default options of the VBA environment
to be friendlier for a screen reader.

I did this for several reasons: first, I believe it was Sam Bushman who
mentioned on the GW info list how MS has been lowering the price of MS Word.
He pointed out you can replace purchasing it with an Office 365 subscription
(which for a yearly fee gets you the entire Office suite for up to 5 pcs),
and they also sell just Word by itself (I don't know the price).

The Word VBA environment combined with this app gives any developer an
environment similar to that of VB.net (with Intelli-Sense code completion,
sub/function/methods "quick info" syntax information, and an object browser,
and a syntax checker for each line and the entire app), so not only is it
much more powerful than developing using just Notepad, but it can be used as
a teaching aid for anyone who eventually wishes to move to visual studio.

You do not need the Word Advanced Features app which I wrote, as it has
nothing to do with writing VBA code.

Enjoy,

Chip
