You probably do NOT want a wll. That's really old, old
WordBasic (Word 95 and earlier) stuff. More likely, you
want to create a COM Addin, a DLL (Office 2000 or later).
Any programming language that can generate an ActiveX dll
can do this, as can the Office XP Developer's Kit. Start by
searching the MSDN library.

Best bet is to buy a copy of VB 6.
With VB 6, you can compile your code into DLLs or even .exe files.
And the compiled code will both run faster and be safer from prying eyes.

And, you can compile code in VB 6 that will run with Office 97 as well,
allowing you overcome the obstacles of some missing features in VBA 5 and VB
5.

You likely can still find legit copies of VB 6 by searching at
