Congratulations on your finished semester! Mine culminates this coming Monday.
I believe all the traffic regarding both VBA projects has been here on sword-devel and not in private emails, so unless someone has been quietly working on it (which very well may be the case, but hopefully your email will bring this to light), then I would say they are both still open opportunities! :)
Here's a sample document from the professor:
http://crosswire.org/sword/ALPHAcckswwlkrfre22034820285912/alpha/Lesson5.doc
I'll post the conversion table when I get that, as well. I don't know much of anything about VBA or its capabilities, so your expertise is very welcome.

Send me the information when you get it. I took my last final for the semester today. Yipee!!
I will get back to work on Mark.
Has anyone done anything with the other VBA macros beyond the installer?

I have another opportunity for someone with VBA skills:
Big picture:
A professor of OT at Phoenix Seminary who a huge library of documents with Hebrew text embedded throughout. He has used a custom bitmap Hebrew font for a number of years to do all of his work, and want to migrate all of his data to Unicode.
He uses a Mac with OSX Microsoft Word Microsoft Powerpoint
I'm hoping we can do something like:
Walk the document structure, and look for any text with the font specified as his custom Hebrew font, change the font name to SIL Ezra or similar free Unicode font, and translate the encoding to Unicode.
Does this sound feasible?
He is building me a document that looks something like:
a ALEPH b BET
where the first column is the custom Hebrew character in his font (is overlaid across the standard lower ASCII range, and will appear probably as: a, b, etc.)
With this data we can build the Unicode translation table.
My hope is that VBA will allow us to provide a plugin macro for his office suite where can can just open a document and run the macro and have the strange Hebrew encoded text in his current document converted to Unicode and a new font.
What do you think?
-Troy.
