title: VBA Shell function in Office 2011 for Mac
body: <p>I am trying to launch a shell script from a VBA macro in Word 2011 for Mac that will run in a Terminal window. I have tried using both the Shell function and the <strong><code>MacScript</code></strong> function, but the VBA interpreter doesn't seem to be able to find the script in either case.</p>
  
  <p>According to the VBA reference documentation, the following should work:</p>
  
  <pre><code> RetVal = Shell("Macintosh HD:Applications:Calculator.app", vbNormalFocus)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This produces a run-time error 53 'File not found'.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
