Not to put words into Philip's mouth, but as a lurker here I am wondering
how one would get started with 'the old-fashioned way'. For example, how
would I find out the extent to which Office: Mac 2008 is scriptable at
all?

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 don¹t. Word 2008 is not recordable, nor can you customize any of the
toolbars. You¹d have to put together the AppleScript the old-fashioned way.
