I'll bite... what *actual* *functionality* *loss* is there? :) I thought the dripping sarcasm was obvious enough that no "real Word user" would find anything useful missing... However, also note that VBA is integral to "all the useful moderately advanced stuff" in Excel -- the old formula macro languagfe is still supported, but has not been further developed since VBA was also glued into Excel. Thus virtually all "custom solutions" now implemented in Excel would be unusable if you installed _Office_ without any VBA functionality. The real point, I guess, is that the option is across-the-board, all-or- nothing. You cannot install, say Word and PowerPoint without VBA support but have VBA in Excel, so what is available is not quite what Richard said he has been asking for. -- Nick FitzGerald Computer Virus Consulting Ltd.
