Public domain macros?

 Public domain macros?

I wish to develop a 'standard letter' format so that a variety of
options can be chosen from user input, with some if..then logic and
some date calculations included, and a Word 97 document produced for
final review. I am a beginner at writing macros, and am finding it
easy to misunderstand the books that I am learning from.

Is there a place I could get samples of programmes / macros written by
others that are in the public domain? I have tried the Microsoft site
but they seem to be either talking about very complicated issues or
links are broken. I know that what I want to do should not be very
difficult, and I may be able to modify an existing macro easier than
writing my own.

Most of the books come with samples. See the list of Word VBA books at
http://www.standards.com/users/kaikow/.
Word, itself, includes sample templates for letters, invoices, etc.

Templates suffer from the NIH (Not Invented Here) disease.
You likely can use   one of the samples provided with Word and munge the
format to your liking.
