In the past, scripting in Microsoft® Office applications was confined to manipulating Microsoft® Outlook® objects and controls from within an Outlook form. In addition, in one sense this is still the case. You can still use script to work with Outlook objects from within the Outlook application. You still use Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) to work with the objects exposed by Office applications.
What has changed is that you can now use Office applications to create Office documents designed to be viewed with a Web browser. This section discusses working with the Microsoft Script Editor and using scriptlets.
