Hi Tony, You may still get a new edition of Office 2004 by looking around. But first I suggest you try Daniel of MacWizzardry, he often can find hard to get items. I guess he has either a good source or may have some stock in hand. If not I'd suggest you go to places like Myers and other Mac selling shops and rummage through their 'disposal' shelves.
I did write to MSoft only 5 or 6 weeks ago complaining bitterly about the lack of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in Excel. I am in the same situation as you having designed quite a lot of s/sheets with Macros and VBA, and simply refuse to buy a Windows PC just to run them. So am using Office 2004. The news that they will reinstate VBA support in Office for Mac is very, very good news to me and I guess to many others in your and my situation.
