I resolved to keep my exposure to MS Office to an absolute minimum after
witnessing the amount of times Word locked solid or crashed entirely
when I was trying to write my final year project reports at university
(I ended up writing them in joe and then formatting them in Word just
before I printed them).  I don't think I've used MS Office at all for
the last four or five years, and very little before that.

What's the motivation?  Can you do anything fun and interesting with
Office?  I'd be mildly surprised to learn that anyone /had/ poked around
in Office with VB, unless they were being paid to automate something at
the time.
