No more macros in Office 2008- Now Automator

[Reed]

Has anyone replaced their Office 2004 macros with Automator scripts in Office 2008? And do they work as well as with Office 2004.

Thank you.

A mix of AppleScript and Automator is that's probably necessary. They
are slower to run (on my powerbook G4). It's not as convenient, because
you can't put them on the toolbar. But I've replaced about one-third of
mine, at this point, and the ones I've replaced seem to work fine.

How well they work will depend on exactly what you need them to do.
