February 7, 2007 -- WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA -- MacTech Magazine today
announced that it will be releasing "Moving from Microsoft Office VBA to
AppleScript: MacTech's Guide to Making the Transition" -- an extensive
guide to help users make the migration from Microsoft Office VBA to
scripting Office using AppleScript.
The final version of the resource guide (estimated at 150 pages) will be
printed in a special super-size edition of MacTech Magazine scheduled
for the April 2007 issue available at the beginning of April. MacTech
Magazine subscribers will receive the expanded issue as part of their normal

For months, MacTech has been working with a team of VBA, AppleScript and
Office experts from around the industry to create the most comprehensive
guide available to aid users in migrating from VBA to AppleScript.
"Lead author, Paul Berkovitz, has written a step-by-step, easy to read
guide that will not only help VBA users with the migration, but will
make even an experienced Office user want to dive in and start using
AppleScript," said Neil Ticktin, Editor-in-Chief/Publisher of MacTech
Magazine. "The goal of the guide is to give both VBA developers and
other Office users a launching point into AppleScripting Microsoft Office for
Mac."
"I think that this is a great tool for customers making the transition
from VBA to AppleScript," said Sheridan Jones, group marketing manager,
Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit. "MacTech creates fantastic,
in-depth resources that really help the Mac community."
