It is not AutoLisp(VisualLisp) or VBA, and you can also use it in AutoCAD LT.

PS General explanation:
Example for opening document C:\temp\hoftest.doc with a macro in Excel.

Sub Test()
ChanNum = DDEInitiate("winword", "c:\temp\hoftest.doc")
For i = 0 To 9
DDEExecute ChanNum, "Line" + Str$(i) + "{ENTER}"
Next i
DDETerminate ChanNum
End Sub
