title: How do you load a class (.cls file) in VBA in Word 2016 for Mac?
body: <p>I was working on a task in Word's VB Editor — that's Word 2016 for Mac — that needed associative arrays, and quickly found references to "Scripting.Dictionary", and then figured out that it comes from a library that is not installed with Office 2016 for Mac.</p>
  
  <p>I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19869266/vba-excel-dictionary-on-mac">this question</a> pointing to a <a href="https://sysmod.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/dictionary-vba-class-update/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">third party library</a> after a lengthy search. 2+ hours more searching, and I still can't figure out how to load it into Word. I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39109886/word-2016-vba-add-in-for-mac">this reference to sandboxing</a>, but it's talking about .dylib files and I've got a .cls — seems like a mismatch. There are oodles of references to loading libraries in Excel, but nothing I've found regarding Word has worked.</p>
  
  <p>So, if I have a .cls file containing the source code for a library such as the one I've linked, how do I bring it into Word?</p>
