VBA compiler?

Hi all,

I need to process automatically a large number of Word documents.
For this I need to get information (font name, bold, italic, size, etc.) of all paragraphs and words in the document and deliver it into a C or Delphi program.

VBA can do this but it works too slowly - processing of a 1-2 pages document takes more than a minute. I need to spend not more than 1 - 2 seconds for this (like Word does this while opening a document). I think such low performance is caused by the fact that VBA is an interpreter but not a compiler.

Does anybody know if it is possible to compile a VBA code in order
to get an EXE file?

Thank you
