MS Word VBA

Hi, I am looking for some help. I want to create an add in for word. It is
to help with adding the symbols of a logic for cryptographic protocols. I
don't know where to begin though because my experience with VBA is minimal.
I don't know how to edit a running instance of word from a vba application
called from within word itself. I would really appreciate any help anyone
could give me on this. All I can do at the moment is open up an instance
of word with a new document!! That is the extent of my predicament. Even
if somebody could reccommend a book or a website to help me it would be great
because I cannot find much help in the MSDN or from any books available to
me.

Hope to hear from somebody soon.

Daniel.

You might start by taking a look at the list of Word VBA books at my URL
below.
I would suggest starting with Steve Roman's book.
