Conventions Used in This Book
The following is a list of the typographical
conventions used in this book: Italics
Used for emphasis, new terms where they are defined, and URLs.
Constant width
Used to show code examples, the contents of files, console output,
and the names of variables, commands, and other code excerpts. Also
used for VBA macro and module names.
Constant width bold
Used to highlight portions of code (typically new additions to old
code) and to indicate text that should be typed literally by the
user.
Constant width italic
Used in code examples and tables to show sample text that should be
replaced with user-supplied values.
_
Underscores are the line-continuation characters
in the VBA language. An underscore at the end of a line of VBA code
indicates that the statement continues to the next line. These line
breaks have been added to fit the text to the width of a page, as
well as to aid in readability. They are optional, but if used, must
be the final character on a line and must be preceded by a space.
Word treats two (or more) lines of code separated by such an
underscore as a single line of code.
Used to indicate an optional line break inserted within a field code.
To insert a line break within Word, type Shift-Enter. The character
doesn't display on screen unless
you've checked the box marked Paragraph Marks under
Tools Options View.
You should pay special attention to notes set apart from the text
with the following icons: |
This is a tip, suggestion, or general note. It contains useful
supplementary information about the topic at hand. |

|
This is a warning or note of caution, often indicating that your
money or your privacy might be at risk. |

The thermometer icons, found next to each hack, indicate the relative
