Title: Great reference with an outstanding Index and CD Examples
Review: "Word 97 Macro and VBA Handbook" is an excellent tutorial for people who have limited experience with Visual Basic. It is also an outstanding Word VBA reference book. (The index is unbeatable.) Lots of very useful examples, with analyses. In particular, the CD contains a complete example which showed me how to do something which Microsoft Premier Support said was impossible (activating macros in Word 97 docs from within an Outlook 97 form). The book isn't perfect, though. For example, the three page section on "Disabling Screen Updating" describes the pros and cons in depth, advises one to do it generally, but doesn't illustrate how to do it. I reread the section many times before turning to VB Help, which had the answer. Overall, though, a great reference, which was just the right tool for a difficult project I completed involving passing information from an Outlook 97 Task form to Word 97 forms.
