Re: Convert Macros for use with Mac?

by CyberTaz <onlygeneraltaz1@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 6, 2008 at 05:26 PM

Hi Tom -

I don't have all the answers, but at least I can let you know what those
who
*can* answer will need to know:-)

First, if the users are running Word 2008 your first assumption is correct
-
Office 2008 does NOT sup****t any version of VBA, so the macros won't run.
My
gut reaction is that this is the case here. If so, AppleScript to replace
the code may be an option. OTOH...

If they're using Word 2004 or prior your code will have to be tweaked but
it
should run. Mac Office is approximately 1 version behind in VBA, so if the
code was written in a more recent version than what's used on Macs the
differences may cause it to not run at all. That's the part I can't answer
for you, but there are other regulars in the group who can.

They'll need to know Mac Word/Office versions, VBA versions and probably a
copy of the code itself.
