Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

The Microsoft Office Code Compatibility Inspector helps you troubleshoot compatibility issues in your Microsoft Visual Basic for Application (VBA) Macros and add-ins. Use this tool to inspect VBA code that you created in previous versions of Microsoft Office.

• The Microsoft Office Code Compatibility Inspector for is designed to help update Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and Visual Studio Tools for Office code so that it is compatible with Office 2010 and Office Pro Plus for Office 365. It consists of four add-ins that load, one add-in per application, in Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010, Word 2010, and Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010.
  
  The Inspector does not correct code; it inspects code, and then comments specific lines of code that reference items in the object model that have been changed, removed, or deprecated. You can then modify the code based on the comments, or use the links that are provided in the comments to view topics on the Web that are pertinent to a particular line of your code.
