I have Office 97, and I only scratch the surface of what it does using it as an online student. I have been ok with that but I am between classes right now and started reading Word97 Macro & VBA Handbook for fun. Boy am I glad I did! I could be getting so much more out of Word in the research/term-paper department. Does anybody here record references in a form, or have macros to automate research? If you do, would you be willing to share them? Not into reinventing things here. I found the document template on the Microsoft site, but it seems weak compared to what I am finding out about VBA.
