Macros from 2003 to 2007

[Ricki Miles]

I am making the switch to version 2007 and have many macros in version 2003
that I would like to continue using. What are the differences between the
two versions in terms of VBA and should I expect my old macros to work in
2007? Thanks in advance,

Ricki

There are few differences in VBA itself, except that new objects and methods
have been added to work with new features such as Content Controls, Building
Blocks, and the new equation editor. You can get the help topics for these
things on the Web by starting at
http://office.microsoft.com/client/...2&ns=WINWORD.DEV&lcid=1033&pid=CH100479951033

Things from Word 2003 that generally won't work, or (worse) won't work as
expected, include code that manipulates menus and toolbars, AutoText (which is
now just one kind of Building Block), document versions, or the legacy diagram
feature (replaced by SmartArt).
