But I never said to use a VBA macro in a Word document or template. I said
he could use 'do Visual Basic' in AppleScript. That can be started from
anyway - a self-standing applet, the OS Scripts menu, another application's
script menu, anywhere. In a way, that's the whole point of 'do Visual basic'
- otherwise, since you've gone to the trouble to learn VBA, you might just
as well make it a macro. 'do Visual Basic' allows you to call Word from
elsewhere.
