Does Word 2011 fully support Visual Basic for Application?

Word 2011 supports Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to some extent. Word 2011 has the same VBA engine that a few older versions had. However, this version has got a few modifications. For instance, it doesn’t support ActiveX controls. So, if you have such programs included in Macros, you may have to edit it accordingly. After editing try to run the macros and see if any more edits are needed.
