Mac Office 2008 Development- AppleScript vs. VBA

Answer 1

This doesn't solve your problem if you need to specifically do this in 2008, but Office 2011 is coming and it brings back VBA. Spending the effort to convert your stuff to AppleScript might be a lot of work for little return where you could wait for Office 2011 which brings the Ribbon to Mac Office as well as VBA...
