I'm not sure if it was the same with Office 98 as it is with 2001, but I
believe so: get out your Office CD open the Value Pack and install
Programmability. Then go to Tools --> Macro --> Visual basic editor (or -->
Macros
), or whatever the German equivalents are, and you'll find it all
installed. Test out all your VB scripting in a macro module in VB Editor
before packaging the finished script as an applescript.
