Differences/Conversion Problems between Office 2000 and 2003?

[JB]

Hi Folks,
Just wondering if anyone has come across an issues with converting to
office 2003 from lower versions?

I have some macros that work fine in 97 and 2K but do not work (at least
not as expected) in 2003.

Are there any resources that I can have a look at the major differences
in versions?

Cheers

J

I'd be interested to know the failing lines.

Hi Steve,
it's mainly using the selection object reading text from a document that
word comes a cropper.

I've a lot of stuff that does more or less the same that works ok. I
am wondering whether the multiple-select selection is causing grief.

Hi Steve,

What it originally did was to find a character style on a para then use
moveleft/moveright to identify when the style started/ended and select
the word/s for that style. I use a different method now thanks to some
advise from Jonathan about ranges.

The annoying thing is that it worked good enough for 97 & 2000

Ideas?

Hi J,

One thing that's new to Word2002/2003 and might mess with your macros are
list styles and table styles.

The Selection might have 4 different styles at the same time.
And if you use Selection.Style, you never can be sure which of the four
types of styles you'll get.

Regards,
Klaus
