Odds and Ends: MacTech to offer Visual Basic to AppleScript conversion guide

MacTech to offer Visual Basic to AppleScript conversion guide We've extensively covered Microsoft's decision to drop Visual Basic support from the forthcoming version of Office for Mac OS X (Office 2008):

• Keeping Visual Basic macros in Office for Mac OS X: Microsoft says macros will survive translation
• Office 2004 with Open XML converters may be the most cross-platform compatible edition -- even after Office 2008 ships

MacTech has now announced that it is publishing a 150-page guide called "Moving from Microsoft Office VBA to AppleScript: MacTech's Guide to Making the Transition" -- a guide to "help users make the migration from Microsoft Office VBA to scripting Office using AppleScript."

The guide will be published in the April 2007 issue of MacTech Magazine.
