I created macros in Word 2004 (I use a Mac) and they do not work in Word
2008. In addition I cannot find out how to record Macros in 2008. Would
appreciate some guidance as how to create macros to use in Word 2008.

I would think the process would be the same for Word 2007 and Word 2008.

Apparently you missed the big flap: Mac Office 2008 does not support VBA
(http://www.macworld.com/article/1315...08.html?t=104).

Microsoft's Mac BU has announced that VBA will return in the next version of
Office
(http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/p...BU2008PR.mspx), but
for now you're out of luck.

Further questions on this issue should be directed to the Mac newsgroup
(http://www.microsoft.com/communities...ic.office.mac).

You are correct I missed the flap, but figured that it was a no go.
Something extremely useful left out again. I am getting closer to giving
iWorks a try.

Thanks for the info.
