Info-Mac

I am fed up because Office 2008 doesn't allow macros. I am thinking of using Office 2004 concurrently, but someone has told me this is not advisable and I am certainly having trouble in 2004 with a large macro I have just imported. Do I have to buy Office 2011?

Any ideas?

Yes, VBA scripting disappeared in Office 2008, then returned for 2011 when everyone complained. There isn't a magic solution to this, aside from learning to use AppleScript or buying 2011, or migrating away from Microsoft Office if your situation allows.

Thanks, Turboladde. Where is AppleScript?

AppleScript is all over your Mac. It's a system-wide platform for scripting all kinds of apps, including Microsoft Office. For Office 2008 specifically, you might want to start here: http://word.mvps.org/mac/scripts/index.html

Thanks again, Turboladde! Would starting a macros-sharing topic be a good idea?
