In my attempts to learn VBA and macros for use in Word, I have read and
studied several books including, but not limited to, "VBA for Dummies",
all
to no avail. I even went so far as to take a class in VBA at my local
community college. There just seems to be something about the syntax of
the
coding that continues to escape me.
I was once very well versed at using macros in WordPerfect, and
consequently
thought this would be a relatively easy undertaking for me. However,
after a
couple of years of putting forth the effort, I remain significantly
confused.
I have used several of the macros posted by the "Community" and they have
indeed worked. However, in reading through the coding, I have no idea as
to
what the coding is actually doing and how or why they were written the way
they were or what it all means.
Is there a method, book or manual that any of you would recommend? I'm
still awaiting that little "aha" moment that comes with understanding.
I appreciate so very much the efforts that are extended and information
that
is shared by all of you within this "Community" and thanks in advance for
your attention to the above.
