This is very interesting as it reminds me of my youth (and probably also the experiences of other people): After the obligatory QBASIC dabbling, my first experiences as a child with GUI design and programming was through macros and the VBA Editor of MS Office, which, at the time, had a good offline help system. Albeit not having any formal knowledge, creating some simple (mostly text-based and excel-cell-based) RPGs was possible thanks to that.
