What is a VBA macro - what is an add-in?

A macro is an action or a set of actions that can be used to automate tasks.

Macros are created using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications, also known as VBA. VBA is built into the Office applications. Gamex86 .dll download.

An add-in is a supplemental program that adds custom commands or features to an application. On this website, you will find information about and links to Word add-ins I have developed. The add-ins are available at wordaddins.com. Some of the add-ins may contain only a few macros whereas others contain hundreds of macros.

Example of macro and the result of running the macro.

Where to find the macro code in the articles

You will find articles with macros and code snippets in the Word Macros menu above and below the Articles With Word Macros heading in the sidebar to the right.

Find links to macro code in articles

In most of the Word macro articles, you will find a heading How to get the macro or similar. Below that heading, you will find a box with a link that opens a separate window with the related macro code. See the example below:

You can copy the code from the window that opens and paste it into the Visual Basic Editor. If you paste the code somewhere else, e.g. in a Word document, paste it as unformatted text.

Macro code directly in articles

In some articles, you will find entire macros listed directly in the article or you will find code snippets. All such code is shown with the Courier New font on white background. Example:

How to work more efficiently with VBA macros

Below, you will find an introduction to two tools I use when working with VBA and macros.

Smart Indenter - a free add-in for VBA

In order to make VBA code as readable as possible, it is a great help to have the code indented so that the structure is clear. Code you copy and paste from a website or from elsewhere may not be indented properly.

Note that the product page mentions Excel but the add-ins works with Word too.

I don't remember having any problems with the installation in any version of Office but it may be because I have had MZ-Tools installed first. If you have problems with the installation, the following article may help:

MZ-Tools – an advanced add-in for VBA

Each time I start using a new computer I am quickly reminded of especially one extremely useful VBA add-in that is missing and that I need to get installed to get up to speed with VBA.

That add-in is MZ-Tools. In the same way as macros can help you be more productive and make better documents in Word, MZ-Tools can help you be more productive and make better code in VBA.

The MZ-tools add-in is developed by Carlos J. Quintero and provides a comprehensive set of tools for VBA (64-bit & 32-bit) plus for Visual Studio (.NET), VB6 and VB5. I use MZ-Tools in relation to VBA.

Originally, MZ-Tools for VBA was free. In October 2015, a new version was released and it is not free anymore which is fair based on the huge amount of features that have been added to the add-in. A 30-day free trial is available.

If you develop VBA macros yourself and if you don't know MZ-Tools already, I recommend you check it out.

Below are a few examples of features in MZ-Tools that I use a lot:

Helps you improve the quality of your code. For example, you can easily find and remove unused declarations in the source code (constants, variables, etc.) and you can find issues where your code does not follow the rules you have specified.
