[Year 12 IT Apps] U4 O1 - Excel 2007 & macros (maybe 2008?)

[Roland Gesthuizen]

I have been told that you can easily get around this by instead using Office
2004 OSX version or Office 2008 Windows version on the XP partition with
Parallels or in a virtual machine. It does make you wonder the motives for
dropping VB script support for OSX versions of Office. I did read that you
can easily install both versions of Office on the Mac (oodles of HDD space
so why not) but have yet to try this out.

This article details the issue and notes that the next major release for OSX
will include the missing bits.
