The following people contributed their hacks, writing, and
inspiration to this book:

Andrew Bruno (http://qnot.org)
received his B.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of
Buffalo. After enduring many long winters in Western New York, he now
resides in Northern California, where the sun shines for more than
two months out of the year. He currently works as a Software Engineer
for O'Reilly Media, Inc., hacking on various
internal software projects. He also enjoys programming in Perl, Java,
and C++.

Sean M. Burke is the author of
O'Reilly's RTF Pocket
Guide, Perl and LWP, and many of the
articles in the Best of the Perl Journal
volumes. An active member in the Perl open source community, he is
one of CPAN's most prolific
module authors and is an authority on markup languages. Trained as a
linguist, he also develops tools for software internationalization
and native-language preservation. He lives in Ketchikan, Alaska, with
his feline overlord, Fang Dynasty.

Greg Chapman is a former mechanic who, after years of study from
afar, discovered that he has exactly one trait in common with a good
programmer: he's lazy enough to work hard at not
repeating the same task over and over again. A former Microsoft MVP
with more interests than time, he looks at Microsoft Word as a good
place to learn development and manage systems so that he can spend
more time flying and less time working. These activities keep him
engaged in Chicago, Illinois, and it's easy to keep
track of him through Dian Chapman's eZine,
TechTrax, at its web site, http://www.mousetrax.com.

Paul Edstein has been using personal computers since the late 1980s,
mostly with a variety of word processors and spreadsheets. Along the
way, he dabbled with PC-based assembly language programming and
Windows-based VB and VBA coding. He has also designed some highly
specialized mainframe and midrange applications. Drawing on his
experience with Microsoft Office applications, Paul began
contributing to various newsgroups in 2002. In the course of solving
problems, he "taught" Word how to
calculate logarithms and trigonometry values; add or subtract a
number of days, weeks, months or years to/from a date; and perform
various other document automation functions using field codes instead
of macros.

Mark Hammond is an independent Microsoft Windows consultant working
out of Melbourne, Australia. He studied computer science at the South
Australian Institute of Technology (now the University of South
Australia) and then worked with several large financial institutions.
He started his consulting operation in 1995. Mark has produced many
of the Windows extensions for Python, including PythonWin, Active
Scripting, and Active Debugging support, and coauthored the COM
framework and extensions. He is also a leading authority on Active
Scripting and related technologies and has spoken at
Microsoft's three most recent Professional
Developers conferences. Apart from being a father to his teenage
daughter, having an interest in live music, and providing way too
many free Python extensions, Mark has no life!

Guy Hart-Davis has been working with Microsoft Word since before it
learned to run on Windows. He writes macros and computer books for
fun and (occasionally) profit. Guy's most recent
books include Windows XP and Office 2003 Keyboard
Shortcuts, Mac OS X and Office v.X Keyboard
Shortcuts, and Adobe Creative Suite Keyboard
Shortcuts.

Evan Lenz is an application developer whose primary expertise is in
XSLT. As a member of the W3C XSL Working Group, he has been
contributing to the development of XPath 2.0, XSLT 2.0, and XQuery
1.0. He has spoken at various XML conferences and helped author
Wrox's Professional XML, Second
Edition, and Early Adopter XQuery (foreword).
Evan holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Wheaton College, with
majors in Piano Performance and Philosophy. He currently lives in
Seattle, Washington, with his wife Lisa and son Samuel. Web site:

Jack M. Lyon is a book editor who got tired of working the hard way
and started creating programs to automate editing tasks in Microsoft
Word. In 1996, he founded the Editorium (http://gusperez.com
and http://blogs.msdn.com/gusperez) is the QA
Lead for the C# Compiler team at Microsoft, where he has worked for
almost six years. He started with the Visual J++ and the Visual C++
teams before joining the Visual C# group, which he has been with
since its inception. In his spare time, Gus hacks away on side
programming projects; plays guitar in a small, local rock band
(http://opus80.com); and plays
golf whenever the rain isn't too bad in Seattle.

Phil Rabichow is a retired prosecutor who started tinkering with
computers and Microsoft Word about 10 years ago. He was part of the
old WOPR Lounge, and became a WMVP (Woody Most Valuable Professional)
in January 2001. He spends his spare time coaching his
daughter's soccer team, shooting pool, playing
tennis, and climbing.

Christopher Rath has been a computing enthusiast since first
purchasing a programmable calculator in 1977. His first serious
computer hobbying was focused on the HP-41c calculator, and he landed
his first job in the industry because of his experience programming
CPU microcode on the HP-41c processor. Besides VBacs, his other
notable contribution to the Net community is his Songbook LaTeX
style, whichalong with other tools, tips, and opinionis
available from his vanity web site (http://rath.ca). Christopher works as a
business consultant, leveraging his 20+ years of Information
Technology experience to improve the value businesses gain from their
IT investments.
