Virtual basic and macros

[fkintosh]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Intel

I need to use virtual basic in excel for macintosh and it is missing in office 2008, so I am stuck with Office 2004. Now it is getting harder and harder to open files that customers send from office 2008. Will there be a new version of Office with support for virtual basic soon? Or, is it possible to have both office 2008 and 2004 on the same computer. I can't run windows on it.

Yes, Office 2004 & 2008 can coexist harmoniously on the same system. In
fact, you can run apps of both suite simultaneously & toggle between the
two. The exception is Entourage -- that's an "either/or" situation. Both
versions of Entourage can be installed but only use one or the other.

It has already been announced that VBA will return in the next release of
Mac Office but there is no definite release date as yet. All that has been
stated is "Holiday 2010", which means little to me but I'd interpret that as
probably 4th quarter, approximately a year away.
