vba split() not working in Mac Word 2004

Question

I was trying to run a Word macro on a Mac. That macro contains the split() function. When I run this it is throwing an error saying function or sub not defined.

StrArr = Split(InputString, ":", -1, vbTextCompare)

I searched on the Internet and found that Mac Word 2004 is supported by VBA 5 and split() is introduced in VBA 6 only. I'm unable to find the proper solution for this, please help me.

Answer 1

Office for Mac 2004 is too old. You need to upgrade to Office 2011, which has the function you want:

Office for Mac 2011 comes with VBA 6.5, ported from Office for Windows. Source - Apple Store Q & A

(I'm assuming VBA 6.5 didn't remove the split() function from 6.0.)
