I was just looking through all toolbars in Word the other day and in Tools >> Macro, I came accross "Visual Basics Editor". I just wanted to know if this could be used for computer programming. Also I wanted to know what is the difference between this and Visual Basics in Excel.

There is no difference at all. But what is significantly different are the object models of Excel and Word. So while theoretically, the VBA is the same, any macros you would write would be completely different, because the object model of Word reflects that it is a word processor, and the object model of Excel reflects that it is a spreadsheet.

Technically they are the same. The language used is called VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). It is what replaced the old macro editors in the earlier versions of Office. By using the control toolbox (another toolbar that's available) you are able to drop some basic controls such as a command button which you can then write some VBA code for to do whatever.

Visual Basic in word is just to allow you to code using word as a text editor - it has tools for error checking - similar to the spelling/grammar check except with the ability to recognize viable code.
Visual Basic in excel allows you to implement spreadsheets, graphs, and tables into your coding.

C++ is an merchandise oriented programming language that became made by technique of Bjarn Stroustrup as an addition to C, seen C++ is a progression surroundings made by technique of microsoft which ability it incorporates an editor, compiler and debugger (there is also a loose, open source, one called Dev C++ that does an same concern). The seen comes from the actual shown reality that you'll "visually" make living house windows. ex. positioned a textual content field, an button (ok, next and so on.) and so on, and supplies you them purposes using source code. microsoft has a programming language in accordance with C, C++, and Java called C# (C-sharp).
