Can I use macros and templates in Word for MAC?

Angie M.

I have a collection of macros and templates I have created for the PC (Word
2003). Can they be used on a MAC?

Thank you

Depends which version of Word for Mac you are using. Mac Word 2008 does not
support VBA, so you would have to rewrite all your macros in Applescript.

The templates you can convert - though you will of course lose the macro
functionality.

Mac Word 2004 does have VBA, but it is an older version of VBA than is in
use on the Windows versions, so some of your macro code may need to be
rewritten.

Microsoft have recognised their error about dropping VBA from Mac Office,
and have promised to put it back in the next version.
