What is an event?

An event is like a noun in that it represents an action that takes place within an object. An event is triggered by an action, such as a mouse click, a key press, or a system timer. An event can be coded to trigger appropriate response in its object.

For example, the ActiveDocument.AfterSave event triggers an action in the Document object after it has been saved.
