In Office: Mac 2004 I created my own simple macros.
Where's the 'create macro' function in Office: Mac 2008?

Gone, gone, gone.
There is no VBA and no macros in Office 2008--it would have taken
another two years before release to include VBA in the Intel-native
code. However, there is reasonably good support for AppleScript (at
least in Word). It is not cross-platform, but most home users should be
able to recreate their macros in AppleScript.
What kind of simple macros did you use?

Congratulations.
Macros don't work. VBA don't work. The Solver in Excel doesn't exist.
Therefore I will not buy Office2008. Until Microsoft will make the versions - Mac and Windows - really compatible.
Today we have two universes, parallel but light-years afar and with nearly no connection.
What do Microsoft purpose with this proceeding?
Do they want to make the Mac uncomely, so that the users will switch to Windows?
Or is it only lack of time or yet incompetence?

Given that VBA is one of your criteria, *my* guess is that your second
sentence is redundant.
Well, I lean toward "lack of time/resources". Apple's going to Intel
processors in the middle of the Office 2008 development cycle, which
necessitated rewriting *everything* in XCode, put a dagger in the heart
of compatibility, especially VBA.
Others aren't so charitable...

Thank you for your answer.
So we can hope, that the missing (but for some of us important) features will be back in a future version of Office:mac?
In my opinion that would be necessary, but confirm me in my decision not to buy Office2008 for the time.
Also because the gain of speed to the version 2004 seems not as I hoped for.

Sorry Joe -
The purpose of this forum is to assist people in solving issues that pertain
to the use of the software as it is. There really isn't anything to be
gained by philosophical speculation about why it isn't what it ain't
Although I can understand the points you're making, those who participate
here have nothing to do with *any* of those issues. IOW - If you have gripes
with MS this isn't the place to air them... Nobody from MS is likely to ever
see what you've written - especially since it's buried in another thread.
If you want to make your discontent known to MS, use the Help> Send Feedback
feature within the respective apps & provide some substantiation for each of
your points - each should be submitted separately rather than as one list of
multiple [especially unrelated] issues. BTW: Rants & threats don't merit
much positive attention
Regards |:>)

One can always hope - but letting MS know what you want, via Help/Send
Feedback..., has a better likelihood of accomplishing something.
Yeah - Rosetta's pretty amazing.
