What 1,000 page programming guide can you get new for under $30? OK, this covers ALL the office applications, and you might wonder if it would be better to learn macros and Visual Basic program by program. That depends on your needs. If all you ever do is Excel or Word, you could pay $30 or more for just ONE of those applications of macros/VBA, and get a LITTLE more depth in terms of specific examples.
BUT-- here's an idea. GET THIS BOOK INSTEAD. It covers all the Office applications, and by the time you've scanned it, you'll have a really good feel for the whole field of VB as applied to customizing office tools. THEN, if, for example, you want to know how to script or record a macro that will convert hyperlinks to end notes in Word, just Google that phrase, and use this reference/text to figure out what the web is telling you to do for that specific task.
With Windows 8 coming out and Office 2013 to 2020 etc., it this a good time to buy this book? An unqualified YES. The VB code and macro recording info are backward compatible to 07 and forward compatible indefinitely. Why? Because the script IS script, and Microsoft has made a 20 year commitment to OOP, including both C# and VB. They are still writing their programs in both as we speak! I'm a developer on the search side of C#, and all their advanced info shows a continuing commitment to both platforms, so don't fret the usual out of date before it's printed routine (although you are smart to wonder about it!).
Very well contented and indexed, so you can use it both as a study guide and reference.
I had been writing my own VBA programs for Excel and was looking to learn more in that application. I was drawn to this book because it was one of the few that addressed the entire Microsoft Office suite; and at the same price as an Excel centric book I figured it would be a good investment. I began flipping through the book looking for quick examples that could get me going. Not finding what I was looking for my first impression was the book was more of a high level overview and not one that would give me the deep knowledge I was looking for. Was I ever wrong! I don't have much patience for reading a technical manual of this size but once I committed to reading from the front cover forward I quickly learned that this book was in fact the tool that I was searching for. The author painstakingly presents real world examples of VBA code and then describes each step with great clarity. You will learn good programming practices that make the user experience easier and of greater value. You will also gain a true appreciation for proper commenting and structure so that if in the future you or someone else has to modify the code it will be familiar and easy to do so.
From a presentation perspective the text sizes and examples are very small and can be difficult to read but the alternative is to create a book that could easily double in page count and cost. I believe that for this book it was worth my squinting a little more than usual. Some additional examples would also be helpful but how much can you honestly expect to be packed into a single book? Maybe a companion workbook would be a good suggestion for the author.
