This Office Blog is really great! I am in my job search stage, and i like to gain more confidence about my Microsoft Office software especially Excel and Word. Here in your blog i discovered a lot of help. I did not work for a while, so I feel I need to upgrade my skills. Your Training websites and Crabby helps me discover and explore about Excel particularly Pivot table, Macros, etc. Inter actions with your Office blogs also helps me to discover that people in the comment portions get info and suggestions from you blogs. I will keep on coming back to learn more of the update. Thank you and more power.

This is a great post and makes me think of where I can fit in. I do a little bit of everything mentioned here and I guess I have to find my competitive advantage.

I didn't know that about the Macro term!

I never accepted it 100%. Instead of Macro I would like something like Script

I think the same think about the "Sub" term in Visual Basic.

Why not Subroutine (Complete word as in Function)

The term Macro is an antiquated one. It was borne out of Lotus 1, 2, 3 and featured in early versions of Excel, known as XLM, Excel Macros. But, it was quite a bit a different than what we see today, a command-line prompt script that was written directly into spreadsheets, themself.

Today, Excel features a much richer scripting language, on the back-end, based (currently) off of VB6, although it's been upgraded to VBA7. The term 'Macro' lives on, but it's a bit of a misnomer, in a historical context.

Cheers,

Nate Oliver

@E Liquid: Take a look at this video office.microsoft.com/.../video-create-a-user-interface-ui-macro-VA101814109.aspx - it's for Access 2010 but can give you the general idea.

I also found this on a third party site that might be helpful too. www.macroexpress.com/videotutorials.htm
