Gee, Phillip, you reckon "the word is out"! There must be a conspiracy
there. Care to share it? ;-)

Supposedly they are supposed to be on a two year cycle. But remember
there was office 2001 then when OSX released a port of 2001 called
Office X. (Basically Office2001 for OSX). Ten Office 2004, now Office
2008. Based on the above track record it could be as long as another4
years before the next version sees the light of Day. However; we Might
end up with a OfficeX Redux, because the word is out the next OSX
version 6 will be Intel Platform only and most like any applications in
order to run on it might have to be have the PPC code stripped in order
to work.
I may be in the unenviable position of having to replace two PPC Macs a
desktop and an Laptop in order to operate OSX.6 and applications that
run on it. I'm not looking forward to the prospect.

I wonder if it's worthwhile to rewrite VBA macros in Applescript,
(which btw I have been doing for the last couple of days :().
[first Wordbasic then VBA then Applescript then perhaps VBA 2 then ?
sigh]

VBA Returns to Future Versions of Office for Mac The Mac BU also
announced it is bringing VBA-language support back to the next version
of Office for Mac. Sharing information with customers as early as
possible continues to be a priority for the Mac BU to allow customers to
plan for their software needs.2 Although the Mac BU increased support in
Office 2008 with alternate scripting tools such as Automator and
AppleScript ‹ and also worked with MacTech Magazine to create a
reference guide, available at
http://www.mactech.com/vba-transition-guide ‹ the team recognizes that
VBA-language support is important to a select group of customers who
rely on sharing macros across platforms. The Mac BU is always working to
meet customers¹ needs and already is hard at work on the next version of
Office for Mac.
