Summing Up
Most of the power of the Office development environment comes from the Office object model, which provides objects, or classes, to perform almost any task imaginable. While every object is different from all the others in its details, they all have certain things in common. For example, you must create an object before you can use it, and you also must have a reference to that object. Office often uses collections to manage objects, and a good grasp of collection syntax is essential. Once you have mastered the basics of working with objects, as covered in this chapter, you are ready to start learning the details.
