Visual Basic支持一个对象集合，该集合中的对象直接对应于Microsoft Word 97中的元素，并且通过用户界面，用户熟悉这些元素中的绝大多数。例如，Document 对象代表了一个打开的文档，Bookmark对象代表了一个文档中的书签，而Selection对象则代表了在一个文档窗口窗格中的选定内容。在Word中，每一类元素－文档、表格、段落、书签、域等等－都可以用Visual Basic的对象来表示。要在Word中自动执行任务，可以使用这些对象的方法和属性。-Visual Basic supports a collection of objects, the objects in the collection correspond directly to elements in Microsoft Word 97 and through the user interface, users familiar with the vast majority of these elements. For example, Document object represents an open document, Bookmark object represents a document bookmarks, and Selection object represents the window pane in a document the selection. In Word, each type of element- documents, tables, paragraphs, bookmarks, fields, etc.- can be used to represent the object of Visual Basic. To automate tasks in Word, you can use methods and properties of these objects.
