Microsoft today announced that they are bringing back full Visual Basic development editor to Office for Mac. A limited Visual Basic development environment already shipped with the Office 2016 for Mac. Based on the feedback from customers, Microsoft is now going to include full environment on the Mac. Visual Basic IDE with the full editor, including multiple code windows, breakpoints, watches, the Object Browser, and more will be delivered as an update later this fall.
This VB IDE feature will be available only for Word, Excel and PowerPoint for Mac. Microsoft will also be releasing this feature to Office Insiders in the Fast Ring in the coming weeks.

The first option on the View menu of the Office 2011 for Mac Visual Basic Editor (VBE) is the Code option, which is grayed out until you make at least one Code window visible in the VBE. A common way to open a new code window is to use Insert→Module. A module is like a new word processing document window — it’s blank. Download Visual Studio Community, Professional, and Enterprise.
