I'm a complete newbie here, but I just upgraded to Office:Mac 2008, and of course all of my previous Word VBA macros are useless.

I have only the most rudimentary understanding of Applescript, but hoped I would be able to use the Applescript "Record" function to create a Word macro, but the "Record" utility doesn't seem to work in Word.

Specific example: I would like to create an Applescript to run from Word which would print the current page only of a document.  Previously, in Word/VBA this took 3 seconds to record and place in a toolbar.  Now I don't seem to be able to do it at all.

Am I missing something obvious?  How do I go about this?

You don’t. Word 2008 is not recordable, nor can you customize any of the toolbars. You’d have to put together the AppleScript the old-fashioned way.
