It'll really p**s off a lot of Office for Mac users if they have to relearn how
to make macros work in the frothcoming Office 2008, especially when the AS
scripts can't be invoked from within the documents. I have a single standalone
Excel macro that I launch and use via keyboard shortcuts within many investment
tracking trworksheets and I'm having a hard time getting a handle on how to
convert it and use it as an applescript in Excel. Paul put a lot of work on it,
but wrote it from an AS perspective and not from an Office app user
perspective. I suspect that, outside a business environment, many personal
computer users won't upgrade to Office 2008 if they have a substantial
investment in current macros.
