Microsoft Office Visual Basic issue after upgrade to MacBook Pro via Migration Assistant

thanks and it works in my EndNote X7.2.

Though cannot cite while i write.

I had the same issue, and tried multiple times to solve the problem.

The EndNote suggestion worked for me. Thanks. (Endnote version 7.2 with cite while i write option hold)

Thanks a lot Celebrity this did the trick for me it worked instantly🙂🙂🙂😊

Here is how I solved the problem:

1. Close MS Word and Dragon.
2. Launch the MS Office installer.
3. On the "Installation Type" screen, click "Customize".
4. Expand "Microsoft Office 2011".
5. Uncheck "Visual Basic for Applications" and leave everything else as it is.
6. Proceed through the rest of the installer.
7. Repeat steps 2-6, but in step (5), re-check "Visual Basic for Applications".

Dragon Dictate should now work again with Microsoft Word.

Nice one, worked a charm.

Awesome Celebrith - works with Endnote X7 too

Worked for me, thanks!

Possible fix for message: Can't load Visual Basic for Applications, Macbook Pro Retina, Running El Capitan, Mac Office 2011.

Trawled through dozens of posts before I decided to have a look through the Microsoft Office 2011 Folder:

Go to Applications:

Open MS Office 2011 folder,

Then open folder named, Office.

This folder has a myriad of folders and information including subfolders called Add-ins, Help, Media, etc. Amongst these folders is one called 'Startup'.

This folder appears to have nothing in it except a simple startup protocol that insists Word start by questioning the whereabouts of VB. Delete this folder to the trash. Close Word then open it up and the message should go.

Let me know how it works out.

Cheers.

Per rubanfromtoronto's instructions, where is the MS Office Installer for mac? I can't find it on my mac (El Capitan).

thx,

motorcyclespeedcop's solution is simple, makes total sense, and worked great for me. Thanks!

This was driving me nuts as well. I deleted the startup folder and the message is gone!

I never got a reply to my question, so I ended up installing Office 365. I already had a 2-person subscription to Office 365, which I was using on my Windows 10 PC, but I was reluctant to do the upgrade on my mac, afraid it would mess things up.

But the Office 365 install seemed to work ok. And the advantage is that now, all my devices are on OneDrive so I can access/edit excel and word docs from iOS, Windows, and Mac (El Capitan).

Thanks, this works well and is so simple to do.

I copied the 'Word' folder to my desktop then put the original in the trash.

Word was open at the time and as I quit it it asked for Vb again, oddly. When I launched Word again it didn't ask for anything, nor did it when I quit.

Thanks motorcyclespeedcop

Oh, thank you! This helped me.

Here's an explanation from the Microsoft side:
