I'm building a Xojo desktop app and I'm trying to figure out if I can include a Word doc on my Xojo Window. However, I'm reading the documentation about Microsoft Office Automation and it seems like the plugins are only available for Windows. I'm using a mac, is there any way I could still use these features on my mac?

Run Parallels/etc? – Dave Newton Jun 06 '19 at 22:05

@DaveNewton What if I want to distribute this program to other people who own macs or linux? Wouldn't it be a hassle for them to download Parallel so just they could use my Xojo program? – Ayah Al-Harthy Jun 06 '19 at 22:36

Yup. And expensive. – Dave Newton Jun 06 '19 at 23:35

It is not possible to automate MS Word on Macintosh via Xojo because Microsoft removed VBA from the Mac editions a number of (Word) versions ago (circa 2011).
You might be able to automate Word on the Mac via AppleScripts.
