Macros and VBA

[inadmissible3]

I need to learn how to create macros, if-then statements, etc. for generating
documents. Where/what is the best learning source?

Thank you.

I need to learn how to create macros, if-then statements, etc. for
generating
documents. Where/what is the best learning source?

Start out by taking a look at these articles

Creating a macro with no programming experience using the recorder
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/UsingRecorder.htm

How to modify a recorded macro
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/ModifyRecordedMacro.htm

Getting To Grips With VBA Basics In 15 Minutes
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/VBABasicsIn15Mins.htm

How to create a Userform
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm

There are lots of other articles on macros at http://www.word.mvps.org/.
Have a look at some of them once feel you have understood the basics.

Then hang around here and experiment with the code samples people provide to
solve specific problems. Experiment with changing them and see what happens.
This will give you a good feel for the sorts of problems people solve with
macros.

Then try a small project or two of your own. If you get stuck, post a
question back here.
