Subject:Re: good forum for Word macro / VBA advice? From:Chris Morton <salt -dot- morton -at- gmail -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:32:31 -0700
That's what I've liked best about this site: the best answers in the
quickest amount of time.
The site is actually an outgrowth of author/InfoWorld columnist Brian
Livingston's extremely successful *Windows Secrets* book series. At one
time Brian was on tour with me as a part of Mastering Computers' extremely
successful *Inside Windows* one-day seminar series. I enjoyed having dinner
at his place in Seattle with his lovely wife and the rest of our MC team.
As for Woody, I first encountered him at a M$ Developer Tools conference in
Seattle back in the late '80s. He was very impressive both as a
code/features sleuth and as a humor-driven presenter. His many books on
Word and VBA have served me well over the years. The other forum monitors I
don't personally know, but any time I've had an oddball question, an
excellent answer has always been waiting for me within a couple of hours.
