[nfbcs] office 2010 or 2013

[Steve Jacobson]

Jude,

Macros are an approach that could be used to improve our efficiency, and it should be possible for macro files to 
be created and shared for Office 2013.  However, I do not know for certain if a macro can be created, for example, 
to replace a shortcut to execute a button within the spell-check dialog, as this is one shortcut that was removed 
that frustrates many people.  I don't have Office 2013 yet, so I can't give this a try, but if there is anyone out 
there who has written macros and has Office 2013, it would be interesting to know if it is possible.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
