Welcome to OfficeTips, where I provide some examples of the enhanced functionality available through the VBA & Win32 API when applied to MS Word, MS PowerPoint & MS Excel. While the main focus of this site is application of VBA to extend available functionality or introduce functionality, where lacking; in the coming months you will see a lot more examples using C# too.

You can now search this website for the relevant articles and downloads.

 

Note: Users of Office 2010 64-bit edition please note that 32-bit add-ins do not work on the 64-bit version of 2010. I am in the process of migrating some of them to support Office 2010 64-bit versions. At present Handout Wizard, LiveWeb, Motion Path Tools, Internal Hyperlink Fixer, Video Tools and Color Swatch are Office 2010/2013/2016 32/64-bit edition compatible.
