More About the Author

I'm now writing a free e-mail newsletter called The Useful Geek (website above).

I'm updating my iPod book to cover the latest features, the latest iPods... and the iPhone when it arrives

I'm also writing a book called Do-It-Yourself PC Upgrade Projects, which shows you 24 ways to get more out of your computer -- without buying a new computer. (Or not yet...)

Happy reading -- and computing!

This review is from: Word 2007 Macros & VBA Made Easy (Made Easy Series) (Paperback)

I found this to be similar to the Excel 2007 Macro book. Good information but very basic. Lacks comprehensive examples to get users started creating their own macros to do anything other than simple manipulation.

This is a great book for someone who is an intermediate or advanced Word 2007 user but has little or no experience with VBA. Following all the examples step by step gives you a good understanding of macros and Word VBA programming basics.
