Course Description

There are many online training courses on Excel VBA; but this is the only Word VBA coursededicated specifically to using VBA macro programming to automate Microsoft Word._______________________________________________________________________________Marta:" This course helped me develop my own macros, and start grasping more complex coding principles. Thank you! "_______________________________________________________________________________The Word VBAvideo tutorials in this course are designed to give you all the ammunition you'll need to start creating your own custom macros to automate Microsoft Word tasks and operations.
Microsoft VBA (Visual Basic for applications) allows you to control Microsoft Office programmatically. You can write macros which perform repetitive tasks saving your organisation, or your clients, time and money.
Word users learn VBA macro programming for a number of reasons: some people are looking to enhance their career prospects; some are looking to save themselves time; others are aiming to save their company money and increase productivity. Perhaps you are an advanced Microsoft Word user looking to venture beyond the use of the macro recorder.
Perhaps you are a Microsoft Office specialist looking to enhance your skills portfolio and make yourself truly indispensable in the workplace.
Perhaps you have already learned how to automate Microsoft Excel using VBA and you are now looking to do the same with Microsoft Word.
Whatever your reasons for wanting to learn to write Word VBA macros, this course will equip you with everything you need to get started and feel confident about writing your own Word VBA code._______________________________________________________________________________Sarahjane:" I had no previous training on Word VBA coding but had used Word VBA code to create a complex Userform & document; primarily by copying and pasting from example code found on the internet - this was very time consuming and I found it almost impossible to customise and debug my code because I didn't really understand how the code worked. This course has broken down the concepts of code and syntax and shown me how to create useful and efficient interactions between the various code parts of my project - I can now see much better ways of structuring and coding my Userform & document and will be rewriting the majority of it... "_______________________________________________________________________________Who this course is for:
This course is aimed at users with an intermediate or advanced knowledge of Microsoft Word but with little or no knowledge of VBA programming.

This course has explained things thoroughly, precisely and in a way that is easy to follow and understand. Having hands-on resources goes above and beyond in being able to comprehend the topics.

I'm only on Section 2, and I've already purchased the Advanced course. The pacing is superb. As an advanced Word user with many years of experience, I've long wanted to learn the programming end of things. This introduction is perfect. Highly recommended.

Clear, step by step approach, good examples

By Sidney Wyckoff on 8/2/2020

After several weeks of thrashing around, I can not get past session 5, saving a macro ON MY MAC. I give up. I'll take a refund and buy a book.

By Kristien Harris on 7/17/2020

I feel confident now to approach building my own solutions. Thank you. Looking forward to starting the advanced course.

By Joshua Chan on 7/11/2020

Decent introduction to macro programming in Word.
I did need to do some extra reading around the subject for the last exercise, as the narrator went through it quite quickly and it would be nice to have a little more direct business application, but I found the course useful.
