Do I have to use API calls or Is there a control I could use?

Could some one help me?

5. Getting vba Macros to work again in Word 2004 for Mac

The macros I wrote myself for my work as a translator quit working in office 
2004 - trying to open or run them causes Word to shut down. Reinstalling did 
not help.

SOOO I bought Word for Mac 2008, only to learn that VBA macros are not 
supported in that version. 

1. Are there any patches or fixes out there for Word for Mac 2004? Can I 
download something?

2. Or - when will Word for Mac 2010-11 be out, and will it include support 
for VBA Macros?

3. Or is there another solution you recommend? I wrote about 30 Macros, each 
of them with more than 50 commands. It's hard to start from scratch.

4. Can Word 2008 be made to work with Macros?

THANK YOU!
