Hello Ed,

By "version" is meant the next full version of Word -- e.g., as 2008 was
the
next version after 2004.

Word 2008 was a huge job for MacBU, with a new file format, new processor
architecture and new OS architecture (X-code). My guess is they would not
be
able to retrofit VBA into Office 2008 -- it would take so long it would be
pointless. But they are working hard on it now!
