  • oletools

  • I currently maintain a 5k line VBA Word macro - naturally it's business critical. It used to be longer with all the version-control-comments, but thankfully I've managed to get the macro file versioned under git and remove all of those green lines (look into oletools and git hooks - far from perfect, but good enough).
