Missing Macros Q: Why wont my Office macros run anymore.
But Office 2008 doesnt support the Visual Basic for Applications engine that previous versions of Office used to run macros. Wondering where your macros went Office 2008 doesnt support them. Youll see this warning when you open a Word file that contains one. Now, if you open a file containing macros, you can choose to either remove or keep the (deactivated) macros (see Macro Alert).

You can change the default file format that Word and PowerPoint use for new files in either programs Preferences menu. In Word, for example, go to Word: Preferences, click on Save, and then choose Word 2007-2004 Document (.doc) from the Save Word Files As pop-up menu.
