Mac Office 2008 & Visual Basic Macros

I've just installed Mac Office 2008 on my macbook & found it doesn't support Visual Basic Macros. Is there a freeware version of office that does support VB Macros or a work around that can be installed on Office 2008. I know Office 2004 retained the VB Macro function but don't want to buy another version.
Thanks

It's very annoying but Microsoft dropped VBA (and therefore any macros which use this) support in Mac Office 2008, although they have confirmed in the new version due in a year or so, they'll reinstate it. (And also will drop Entourage and instead supply a full Mac version of Outlook.)
AFAIK There are no freeware versions of office which support VBA accurately.
I'd suggest you return your copy to the retailer stating the issue, and then look on eBay for a genuine copy of Office 2004, or see if any retailers are still stocking the 2004 Home and Student edition, which was good value.
Edited to add, just checked on eBay plenty of boxed versions of Mac Office 2004, some sealed, going for between £25 and £50... (the Home and Student edition has a 3 user licence / 3 install codes.)0
