Setting Up

(You can read this post with images at http://www.chrisgreaves.com/Office2007developer/)

The first VBA macro I tried to run in Word2007 was my “Best Fit Toolbars By Name”. It crashed, probably because we don’t have command bars any more, we have ribbons.

So tonight I began peeking under the hood.

First step is to make use of Word2007’s interface to get to VBA; I can re-tool it as my own later.

It is once more into the Pearl, Word Options, Personalize and Show Developer Tab.

With that in place I record, run and review the typical “Hello World” macro.

Apart from that, everything else seems to be in place.
