Is the IDE extensible like VB?

[Byron]

I've been spending a lot of time in the Word VBA IDE and was wondering
if it's extensible like the VB6 IDE is. I wrote an addin for VB that
has several useful (at least for me) functions, delete entire line,
duplicate line(s), add comment, etc. that I'd like to use while I'm in
Word. Anyone have an answer on where to load the addin .dll or even
if it's possible?

Thanks much,

Yes, you can create a COM Add-In to VBA just like you can to VB6. Start an
"Addin" project in VB6, go to the Add-In designer, and one of your options
under "Application" should be "Visual Basic for Applications IDE". The
object model is much the same (if not THE same) as the VB6 IDE. On my web
site I have an add-in for VBA that turns your source code into a Word
document (for easy printing, etc.):

(I also have one for VB6 that is almost identical. I just haven't cleaned it
up for release to the public.)

I can send you the source code if you'd like.
