You can theoretically have open up Word (or any other VBA-Application) and
use it's macro editor (and a working script) to remotely control InDesign,
or you can use the VB Development suite to create EXE files. But I would
advice to change as soon as possible to the second method. But ID itself
hasen't any macro editor to be controlled from within.
