The templates you can convert - though you will of course lose the macro functionality. Mac Word 2004 does have VBA, but it is an older version of VBA than is in use on the Windows versions, so some of your macro code may need to be rewritten. Microsoft have recognised their error about dropping VBA from Mac Office, and have promised to put it back in the next version. -- Regards Jonathan West |
