This article introduces MS Word VBA programming using Java. It comprises IDE settings, a list of instructions for writing the application, and a sample code for developing a macro for Word using Java. You will learn to set various properties of the VBA project and modules.

Steps to Create Macro in MS Word using Java

1. Set the environment to use Aspose.Words for Java for enabling macros in a Word file
2. Import the required modules, including Document, VbaModule, VbaProject, and VbaModuleType
3. Create an empty Word file using the Document class
4. Create a VbaProject object and set its name
5. Add this project to the newly created Word file
6. Create a VbaModule and set its name, type, and source code
7. Add this module to the collection of modules in the VbaProject of the Word file
8. Save the Word file with the new VBA Project and module in it

These steps summarize the process to write a VBA script using Java for a Word file DOCM. In this process, import Document, VbaProject, VbaModule, and VbaModuleType, then create a blank Word document, initialize a named VbaProject, and attach it to the document. Next, create a VbaModule with its name, type, and macro source, add it to the project’s modules collection, and save the document as a macro-enabled file containing the new VBA project and module.

Code for Creating Macros in MS Word using Java

The above code assists in creating a macro enabled Word document using Java. The VbaProject class exposes the VBA project’s code page and name, indicates protection/signature status, and provides collections to manage its modules and references. The VbaModule class gets/sets the VBA module’s name, source code, and type (procedural, document, class, or designer).
