For any of you who want to learn how to automate PPT and the other Mac Office
apps using AppleScript (and for anyone who plans to do any Office automation in
the upcoming 2008 version), this is something you'll want to check out. Here's
the announcment verbatim from MacTech:
MacTech's VBA/AppleScript Transition Guide Now Online
See it today at http://www.mactech.com/vba-transition-guide/
With Office 2008 for Mac no longer supporting VBA, most Mac Office scripters
need to move to AppleScript. To help with this transition, MacTech Magazine has
published its approximately 150 page transition guide in the April issue of
MacTech Magazine. This triple-size issue was sent to subscribers as part of
their normal subscription.
With overwhelming response, MacTech has now made the guide available for free
online, as well as provided PDF download and printed copy options. You can get
the PDF now at
http://www.mactech.com/ms-survey/pdf-download.php
and you can order a back issue of the printed guide (while supplies last) at
http://store.mactech.com/description.html?pcode=MTBI2304B
For months, MacTech worked with a team of VBA, AppleScript and Office experts
from around the industry to create the most comprehensive guide available to
aid users in migrating from VBA to AppleScript. Chock full of step-by-step
examples, it not only helps people migrating from VBA, but is useful for anyone
who would like to AppleScript Microsoft Office.
Bundled with the PDF download, the Macintosh Business Unit at Microsoft is
sponsoring a limited number of complimentary subscriptions. Individuals just
pay a shipping and handling charge for the bundle of $9.95 to receive MacTech
monthly for six months in the US/Canada. International pricing available as
well. For more information, and to fill out a short survey to qualify, go to
http://www.mactech.com/vba-transition-guide/
Subscribers who have received the April issue, and want the PDF as well, should
simply contact MacTech's customer service department.

Disclaimer: I helped the author, Paul Berkowitz, a bit with the PowerPoint
section of this issue. Whether it sells 1 copy or a million, my wallet stays
the same size. I'm making this announcement publically because it's such an
incredibly thorough and impressive piece of work, one that will be a
near-necessary reference for anyone moving forward into 2008 with Office
automation.
