So, here's another question:

If I was interested in developing small solutions with Office products,
what
side should I focus on?

I would recommend you stick to VBA unless you already have a substantial
VB.NET application to which you want to add some capability to automate
Office.

VBA is tightly integrated into the office apps. You can get much better
context-sensitive help for the office object models, and you can run the
macro recorder and get some sample code -a kind of "code-by-example". Of
course, you willusually need to refine the recorded code but even
experienced programmers sometimes find it useful to see what objects are
used for a particular purpose.
