Mac Word 200>4: Word Forms and VBA

[Peter Jamieson]

I expect MacBU have noticed but just in case...

Since someone just posted about Word online Forms, what's going to happen in
the next version of Mac Word to
a. the VBA macros invoked pre-and-post field entry/exit from "Word online
forms" (i.e. the sort that use form fields) in the next version of Mac Word
b. stuff such as "Macrobutton", which also fires up VBA. (Or maybe it
doesn't, in Mac Word?)

Hi Peter:

In the next version of Mac Word, anything involving VBA, including form
fields and macro buttons, will silently fail (i.e. The code will remain in
the document and be invisible and ignored).

The VBA interpreter will not exist.

Cheers
