VBA Code to monitor standard toolbar buttons.

[Honey]

I am looking for some sample VBA code to:
Monitor an existing standard toolbar button in Word or Excel.
When clicked, perform a short VBA routine to insert some text into

And also please explain terminology or point me to a tutorial.

Also, a little newbie tutorial on the while subject would help me
greatly.
Thank you.
