The Word macro language is pretty simple to learn, although you'll need
some kind of introductory guide to get started. I recommend the Microsoft
Word Developer's Kit, a copy of which is on the Microsoft Developer Network
CD-ROM. Find a friendly programmer and print out the introductory sections
- it'll get you started and it's free.
