Open Control Panel. Click “Programs and Features”. In the left sidebar, click “View Installed Updates”
At the very top-right of the Uninstall an Update screen, type the following into the Search box: KB There may be one or more entries labeled Security Update for Microsoft Office 2016 (KB ). Select and click Uninstall. Uninstall them all.
Now, reopen Visual Studio and you should be able to create a VSTO workbook.

15. Object-Oriented (OO) VB and VBA are OO languages
Almost everything is an object
Object = methods() + properties
Properties have values. A value can be another object
Class is a description (code) for an object
Instance is a specific working object in your computer

16. Dot notation The dot allows us to “look inside” items.
Go from “known” to “specific”.
Range(“A3:B8”).Borders.Color = Drawing.Color.LightGray
Range(“A3:B8”).Interior.Color = Drawing.Color.DarkBlue
