I am trying to develop some macros for WFW and am stumped with the
documentation at hand. I called MS and they said that the Tech Reference
is published by MSPress and is available to anyone for $19.95. I have
looked at several local book stores (Yes, including CLBS: computer
literacy book store) and no one has it. A few WFW books have started
showing up... each caters to the novice. Oh well, I'll wait for CLBS to
send me a card when they get the book in. Until then, lets play with
Ventura Publisher !!!
