This is a rather disappointing reference to me. I am a VB programmer and bought this book hoping this gives some details about the Word Object Model. Unfortunately this only go as far as the online help pages, which are very supervisual as well. This book failed to give the 'secrets' of Word tricks, and a lot of them I had to learn them the hard way.I also read a couple other references but they weren't too good either. Maybe experienced Office developers don't tend to write to well usually.
