With reference to [MS-VBAL], section 6.1.2.8.1.4 about CreateObject function, it is mentioned that the 'Class' argument has a string data value, containing the application name and class of the object to create.

After some exploration i found that you can create objects of Word, Excel, etc with their provided classes for example:

CreateObject('Word.Application')

CreateObject('Excel.Application')

...etc

Could you provide a reference or a complete list of all possible applications that offer this kind of functionality and the methods they provide.

Thanks
