Title: The Worst Reference Book Ever Encountered
Review: After struggling for seven years to learn Word Visual Basic using this book as a reference, I have decided that its greatest value is as waste paper. It would be a disservice to give it to anyone. I have mastered six programming languages from language reference manuals, and my software has been used at five planets and the moon, so I speak advisedly. This book might be useful to someone with weeks to spend doing nothing but reading it from cover to cover. But for those whose time is more valuable, don't waste it here! In its index, "Operators" doesn't appear, there are no entries for N,X,Y,and Z, and only one entry each for J and K and three for G. Its table of contents is almost useless. No author is mentioned, only a "Project Editor". For a reference at the opposite extreme, buy Francesco Balena's "Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 2005: The Language" ISBN 0735621837. Published 2006.
