Is there any (real) Office 2007 look and feel for Java/Swing?

I'm aware of the Substance look and feels and that they have a Office 2007 look-a-like look and feel. But this look and feel doesn't look like the Office 2007 design at all, the colors are a lot different for example. Are there other look and feels which mimic the Office 2007 more accurately? ...

Defining macros in Power Point 2007?

It USED to be the case in Office 2003 that you could find "macros" and -- IIRC -- you had a "record macro" option. But, in PowerPoint 2007, under View->Macros, you get a macro box.
