Office Palooza
Hello! My name is Stephen Oliver and I'm a programming writer at Microsoft. From time-to-time, I'll post Office developer-oriented tips—specifically around Word.
Today's post is simply to alert you to a great resource for sharpening your Office automation skills—Office Palooza . Office Palooza was a two-week event (April 20 – May 1, 2009) but the content that came out of it is an excellent store of tips, How Tos, and even full-scale solutions for automating Office applications.
Office Palooza targeted "advanced business users" (most people call them "power users"); that is, people who have a great deal more than a beginning knowledge of the Office applications (like Word!) but aren't professional programmers. So even if all you've ever done with Office automation is record a macro in Word, this is just the place for you! If you look through the list of articles, blog posts, "How To" videos and book excerpts, you'll find things like:
…and many other topics.
But don't just take my word for it. Stop by and check out the Office Palooza content for yourself!
