Microsoft provides VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as a glue
language to script all of its 'Office (9\d|2000)' applications. It's
like VBScript'ing ASP, but with a different environment.  I don't know
if this is what this person found, but it's likely.  But I don't think
that Word et al. "rely" on it.
