Sep 13, 2013 - I recently installed EndNote on my mac and have since been getting an error whenever I open Microsoft Word that says 'can't load Visual Basic.
Cause: 'Visual Basic for Applications' is not currently installed on the system. If Visual Basic for Applications is disabled when installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 through a custom installation (using the Customize button), the 'Visual Basic for Applications.framework' file necessary for integration between Word and Dictate will not be created. To check if 'Visual Basic for Applications' has been installed, follow the directions below: • Open 'Finder'. • Go to the 'Applications' folder. • Go to the 'Microsoft Office 2011' folder. • Go to the 'Office' folder.
• Check to see if the 'Visual Basic for Applications.framework' file is listed. If this file is not listed, Visual Basic for Applications was not installed during the installation of Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.
Solution: Please re-install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. If a custom installation must be used, be sure to enable/check the option for Visual Basic for Applications.

It just seems to be having trouble with the wildcard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
