Wordbasic
WordBASIC was a subset of Microsoft QuickBASIC customized for word-processing in Microsoft Word.
It was replaced by Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) when Word 97 was released. Contrarily to VBA, WordBasic was not object-oriented but consisted of a flat list of approximately 900 commands.
