At one point, VBA in Microsoft Word was my only available programming outlet. I was able, easily, to access DirectDraw and create a faux screen saver. DLL imports are available in VBA, so the entire win32 API is available (in addition to the normal Office automation stuff like sending email, modifying spreadsheets, etc)
