A useful tool for beginners

I bought this book to supplement Steve Roman's "Learning Word Programming" and found it very useful for learning to use VBA for Word although it was a little light. To me the most useful chapter was the one for creating a wizard, and I was able to use that information to create interactive smart forms. I would have liked to see more on creating forms (what the author calls "user forms" - what we think of as VB forms) but at least there is some information. A plain VB book (such as John Smiley's "Learn to Program with VB 6") is a good supplement to more advanced tasks a programmer might want to do. All in all, for someone with no programming experience, this is a useful book, easy to read and with plenty of exercises to practice with and a brief (could be longer) analysis of the code that accompanies each exercise.
