Weak Examples, Not Much Meat

This book may have some content that is hard to find anywhere else but overall it was a big disappointment for me. I was looking for some real insight in how to write effective macros for manipulating text and this book only had 1 chapter on "the code model." The chapter was devoid of any decent example of using the TextSelection object.

I also didn't like the fact that the 3 author approach was so obvious. Some examples were in VB and some in C#. You would think they'd write the whole book in 1 language. I don't care which one but pick one. Since macros have to be written in VB.Net you'd think the whole book would have been in VB.Net.

This one missed the mark for me.
