Good point. It seems that the Macro Recorder still exists, but you have to enable it explicitly. At least that's how it works for me, but `$work` may have fiddled with the "default" settings of Office a bit too much.	[reply] [d/l]

It does not. Under the link you provide MS explains how to create and edit a macro, but not how to record one. This is a real nuisance because (at least in Excel) the Macro Recorder is the most efficient way to find out how something can be done in VBA.	[reply]

Yikes, yet another useful feature removed. Shame.	[reply]

Microsoft Office 2007 still has the macro recorder, in ~~both~~ Excel ~~and PowerPoint~~. It's just a bit hidden. I don't know about later versions of Office though. Update: Sorry, I was wrong. PowerPoint might not have the record macro feature. If it does, I can't activate it.	[reply]

I was mistaken above. Apparently PowerPoint might not have this function, but Excel does. Here are some instructions, I hope this will work for you. In Office 2007 Excel, enable the Developer tab on the ribbon in the Excel or PowerPoint settings, see this description on MSDN. This will add an extra tab on the ribbon bar. On that extra tab, in Excel, you will find a button to record a macro (in Visual Basic language), and a Macros button that lets you review existing macros. That's all.	[reply]
